Chapter 570: Huo Yaoxing suddenly became rich and then poor

The Marquis of Jinping and his son killed each other for a concubine.

The news spread throughout the city.

The next day, the emperor received dozens of memorials impeaching the Marquis of Jinping and his son.

Dayong governs the world with filial piety.

The son beats the father.

This is simply going against the will of Heaven and is intolerable.

After Marquis Jinping woke up, he wrote the document of dividing the family property while drooling.

Not only was Huo Yaoxing expelled from the Marquis' Mansion, he was also removed from the family tree.

Afterwards, he dictated a letter of apology and had someone write it on his behalf.

Not long after handling the major cases of human trafficking and illegal drugs, the imperial court suffered heavy losses.

The emperor was already in a bad mood, and the Marquis of Jinping's Mansion was putting himself in danger.

The emperor naturally punished severely to correct the atmosphere.

Not only did he send his most senior eunuch to reprimand him, but he also demoted his title from marquis to earl, and the title could only be inherited for one generation.

If the next Marquis of Jinping fails to achieve outstanding results, the Huo family will be removed from the circle of nobles in the capital.

Marquis Jinping accepted the order with saliva dripping from his mouth.

He immediately wrote another memorial to thank the emperor for his grace and proposed that his second son Huo Jinxing be made the crown prince.

The emperor had long known that Huo Jinxing was Jing Mingmei's son.

The request of Marquis Jinping was immediately approved.

He also counted on Jing Mingmei's brother to help him earn money and fill his private treasury.

This is also the reason why the emperor only demoted the marquis's rank by one level.

He wanted the Jing family to make money for him, so of course he had to give them a little sweet taste.

Huo Yaoxing was expelled from the clan.

After leaving the Marquis' Mansion, he and Gu Saisai moved into the dowry courtyard of his mother Jia.

Over the years, Jia has made a lot of money from Jing Mingmei under various pretexts, big and small.

Now all of it has been given to Huo Yaoxing, so that he has some money to rely on.

Therefore, Huo Yaoxing was driven out of the Marquis of Jinping's Mansion. Although he lost his noble status as a prince, his life was not only not difficult, but even more carefree than before.

Wen Yan had no expression on her face after listening to Yue Sheng's report.

Yuesheng noticed that she was not reacting properly and asked worriedly, "Miss, is there something wrong?"

"Of course it's not right! Nothing about it is right.

How can Huo Yaoxing live such a carefree life? "Wen Yan's eyes rolled around, and Yue Sheng also became excited. "Miss, have you thought of a way to deal with them?"

Wen Yan chuckled and said, "Tonight, we will take action."

That night.

Wen Yan asked Yue Sheng to take her with him using Qing Kung and sneak into Huo Yaoxing's house.

They went to Huo Yaoxing's study first.

Wen Yan walked around the study and then let Yuesheng fly onto the beam.

Yuesheng quickly took out a palm-sized package from above.

Then she found a painting jar.

After turning the painting tank upside down, press lightly on it to open a mechanism.

Wen Yan took out more than twenty gold bars from the mechanism.

She opened another pen holder and pulled out a few banknotes.

Wen Yan stayed in the study for half an hour.

Gold, silver bars and silver notes were found among various inconspicuous small objects.

After two lifetimes, Huo Yaoxing's habit of hiding valuables has not changed at all!

Huo Yaoxing never puts all his eggs in one basket.

Wen Yan and Yue Sheng came to the bedroom again.

First, he blew a tube of smoke in.

After waiting for a cup of tea, they pushed the door open and went in.

The clothes hangers, pillows, bed frames, any place where something could be hidden were all looted by Wen Yan.

Yuesheng carried the heavy bag and couldn't help sighing, "Is Huo Yaoxing born in the Year of the Rat? He's so good at hiding things!"

"Let's go first. The princess must have left a backup plan for Gu Saisai. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid we'll be discovered."

Yuesheng nodded and pointed to the wall: "I'll take the bag out first and then come back to pick you up."

Wen Yan nodded: "Go quickly and come back soon."

Yuesheng's back was bent by the heavy bag, and when she tried to climb over the wall using her lightness skills, she almost fell over.

When she came back, she found Wen Yan sitting against the wall, spinning around a set of porcelain tables and stools.

Porcelain tables and stools are quite common.

Rich families would decorate their backyards with several sets to make them look more exquisite and beautiful.

"Miss, do you like this?" Yuesheng asked her.

Wen Yan shook her head, curled her fingers, and tapped the table: "Listen."

"It's hollow." Yuesheng recognized it immediately. "It's normal for such a large porcelain table to be hollow."

"Help me move the table first."

Yuesheng didn't understand but did as he was told.

After the two of them worked together to move the table top away, the cylindrical table legs were exposed.

Wen Yan held the table leg and turned it around, then unscrewed it.

Then the gold, silver and jewelry inside were revealed.

Yuesheng was so shocked that his mouth opened wide and he could hardly close it.

Wen Yan took off her outer black clothes and threw them to Yue Sheng: "Don't be surprised, put them away quickly, I'll go check the stool."

As expected, Wen Yan was not disappointed.

A lot of jewelry was also taken out from the four porcelain stools.

Wen Yan didn't leave any for Huo Yaoxing and packed up everything and took it all away.

There were too many things, and it was impossible for two people to get them back.

So he left Yuesheng here to guard it, and Wen Yan went home to drive the carriage to move the things.

They worked hard until dawn and finally brought all the looted items back home.

Both of them were so tired that they threw their things into the room and went back to their room to catch up on some sleep.

After sleeping until the afternoon and feeling refreshed, they began to count their things.

Wen Yan kept all the gold and silver ingots for himself.

She received some ordinary gold jewelry and planned to find a time to go to the Ministry of Industry to borrow Huang Ying'er's furnace to melt it down.

As for the other jewelry inlaid with jade and kingfisher feathers, she did not touch them.

She planned to ask her fourth brother to take the money to other places when he was doing business.

After counting, Wen Yan estimated that all the items together were worth between one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand taels of silver.

Wen Yan separated the silver and banknotes and said, "Ying Zhilin said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will soon take over the military power of the Northern Frontier. Let's send these to him as a gift and as military funds."

The thighs that need to be hugged should still be hugged tightly.

Who would complain about having too many thighs?

Yuesheng was shocked: "That Marquis's wife is really rich, no, she is now the Earl's wife.

Huo Yaoxing lost so many things. When he finds out, he will cry to death!"

Wen Yan smiled.

She still has a big gift to give to Huo Yaoxing!

Wen Yan packed the jewelry to be melted on a tablecloth and drove out in a carriage.

She first went to "A Little Ink".

Su He saw her and came out to greet her happily: "Miss, you haven't been here for a long time. I thought you opened the 'Jingming Tower' and didn't want our study anymore."

Wen Yan tapped her forehead lightly: "I will never forget you no matter who I forget."

Since buying the shop next door, Yi Dian Mo has more than doubled in size.

The number of guests that can be accommodated has also increased exponentially.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Wen Yan got down to business: "Do you know any upstarts here?"

Su He nodded. "After we started providing free heating two years ago, I got to know a lot of people for no apparent reason."

"Pick out a few smart and capable ones and let them do something." Wen Yan whispered to Su He.

Su He nodded. "Don't worry, young lady. I will make sure that bastard Huo Yaoxing will never stand up again."

Wen Yan patted her head and took the things to the Ministry of Industry to find Huang Ying'er to melt the jewelry.
