Without poisoning, his army would be able to come to the capital and control everything here.
All efforts failed at the last moment.
All efforts were in vain!
He regrets it so much.
The fifth son is a good businessman and is equally good at other things. He was just thinking in the wrong way.
Even if you use the second son's daughter, you must never use his.
Why didn't he think of this at the beginning?
How well-informed are businessmen? He had kept private soldiers for so many years and no one had ever noticed. Unexpectedly, his own son found out and reported it to the king.
If I hadn't hidden my plan from his family from the beginning and hadn't touched his wife and daughter, would he have become a strong supporter to me?
Looking at the hatred in Ming Zhaoyuan's eyes, the head of the Ming family was speechless.
"puff!"
He spat out another mouthful of blood, and everything in front of him went gray.
"What do you mean by my inheritance? It's our Ming family's inheritance." The Ming family's uncle's eyes were red with anger. "Ming Zhaoyuan! You beast, you destroyed the Ming family's inheritance that has lasted for a hundred years."
Ming Zhaoyuan was unmoved: "So what? The Ming family's century-old foundation has been established by the legitimate family, and nothing will happen to us illegitimate children. In your eyes, I, your illegitimate brother, am just a slave, but everything I have can be used by you.
Your inheritance has nothing to do with me. If the Ming family gets the throne, my father will definitely sit on it first.
If your father loses you to inherit, and you lose your son to inherit, will it be my turn as your half brother? It’s good enough that you don’t kill me.”
"Fifth Master's words are rough but true. The legitimate line is the legitimate line. It is impossible for a concubine's line to inherit. A concubine's line will always be a stepping stone for the legitimate line. This is an iron rule."
"That's true, but we can't use the lives of other people's wives and daughters to make up for it. Master Ming Wu is not a fool. The Ming family's actions are too cruel."
"Yes, the Ming family is too cruel. They used other people's wives and daughters to pave the way for themselves. Master Ming Wu was forced to resist, so it is understandable. If he didn't resist, who knows what the end would be."
"I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well avenge my wife and daughter. The Ming family actually raised 100,000 private soldiers. Once this is discovered, everyone from top to bottom will die."
"It also shows that Master Wu is indeed a smart businessman. If he comes out to testify now, the king will surely appreciate his sincerity. Even if the Ming family kills everyone, they will not vent their anger on him."
"The Ming family is doomed this time. I wonder why he sued the Yue family."
The head of the Ming family was speechless. The moment Nangong Jinyuan received Ming Zhaoyuan's complaint, he arranged for people to secretly investigate the valley where the Ming family kept private soldiers.
The answer he got was exactly the same as what he wrote in his petition: those people were really drugged, and the whole valley was filled with a foul smell.
Xiao Jin came back and told his master: All those people fell down and lay on the ground unable to get up.
[Really? Ming Zhaoyuan is really amazing. This move is really vicious. The head of the Ming family is dead today. He can't command the army. This is his fate.]
Old Duke: "......"
Xiaoxiao! Are you here to clean up the Nanyun family today? The Ming family has fallen, so I guess the Yue family is almost there too, right?
Looking back at his sister Xiaoxiao who was sitting quietly on the chair, Li Sizu's eyes were filled with doting.
With the help of his sister, Nangong Jinyuan will not only return the three states and six prefectures, but also be grateful to his sister.
The charcoal-haired man's attention was all on the patriarch of the Jun family. He wanted to stare at him to death. He really wanted to know why he had the aura of the dragon clan and which member of the dragon clan he had come into contact with?
The head of the Jun family was so focused on the affairs of the Ming family that he didn't notice that he was being targeted.
Nangong Jinyuan was extremely happy when he got the accurate news. He looked at Ming Zhaoyuan with praise in his eyes.
"The head of the Ming family is a bastard. He raises private soldiers and attempts to usurp the throne. He deserves death. Come! Put the head of the Ming family and the master of the Ming family in death row."
Now, the head of the Jun family didn't dare to obstruct anymore. The evidence was conclusive and it was useless to obstruct anymore.
Since the Ming family has started a commotion, he no longer needs to be shy. He can definitely win if he strikes at the right time. The Ming family has fallen, and there is still the Yue family. Let's see what crime they have committed.
The Ye family is nothing to be afraid of, let alone other small families. As long as they give enough benefits, it’s none of their business who sits on the throne.
"I don't accept it, I don't accept it." The eldest master of the Ming family struggled desperately, refusing to surrender. He stared at the fifth master Ming, "Ming Zhaoyuan! You will not die well. You betrayed your family and framed your own family. I beg you to be struck by lightning."
Although he was scolded so badly, Ming Wuye seemed not to hear it: "No matter what my ending is, you won't be able to see it. I don't ask for anything else, I just want revenge for my daughter.
For this day, I have already put my life and death aside. If Big Brother had not done anything to my wife and daughter, how could it have come to this? It is you who should be struck by lightning."
The eldest master of the Ming family was taken away before he could reply, and the same went for the patriarch of the Ming family.
The Ming family will probably be removed from the Nanyun Kingdom from now on.
After the person was taken away, Ming Zhaoyuan clasped his fists and saluted towards Nangong Jinyuan.
"The demons supported by the Ming family can turn stones into gold. This gold will not return to its original state in a short period of time, but will show its original form after a long period of time. The head of the Yue family bought back this gold at a low price and added it to the national treasury. The Yue family embezzled the national treasury silver."
These words shocked the entire court.
Nangong Jinyuan's face darkened, and he ordered his men to check the vault. Not long after, twenty or thirty boxes were carried out. They were placed in the middle one by one, and then opened one by one.
Inside, there were only stones, not a single bit of gold.
"It's unfair!" The head of the Yue family knelt on the ground, kowtowed and cried out for justice, "It was the Ming family who harmed me. I didn't embezzle the gold from the national treasury."
"Do you believe what you said?" Nangong Jinyuan asked sternly, "Where did the gold in the national treasury go? Master of the Yue Family! You don't have to be the Minister of Revenue anymore. Tell me, where did you use the gold in the national treasury?"
[He bought several iron mines, made many sophisticated weapons, and also raised a lot of private soldiers, a total of 36,800 people.]
The old Duke looked at Nangong Jinyuan with sympathy, feeling that he was really aggrieved to be the king. The Minister of Revenue used his money to raise private soldiers and was ready to drive him out of power. Is there any king in the world who is more aggrieved than him?
Not only did he pick up the bowl to eat, but he also cursed his mother when he put the bowl down and wanted to kill people and take away the food used for cooking.
Such people cannot be kept, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
Li Sizu smiled and looked at the head of the Yue family below: "This prince knows the answer to this question. The head of the Yue family used the gold to buy iron ore, forged weapons, and armed 36,800 private soldiers."
The head of the Yue family looked at Prince Dongsheng as if he had seen a ghost, his face pale, and he couldn't understand why he knew so much.
"Don't look at me with disbelief. Nothing in the world can be hidden from Dongsheng State Master. This is what she told me."
Upon hearing this, not only the head of the Yue family was terrified, but all the civil and military officials in the court were trembling with fear.
Isn't this Dongsheng Imperial Master too powerful? He even knows how many private soldiers the Yue Family Patriarch has and what he did with the money from the national treasury.
What about them?
Did she know everything they had done?
