At this moment, inside the Ministry of Justice prison, Chief Eunuch Lin was arrogantly reading out the imperial edict.
By imperial decree: War King Ouyang Yuqing has colluded with enemy states, rebelled against the court, and formed cliques for personal gain. The investigation has confirmed the facts of his crimes, which are clear and evident.
The Emperor's grace is boundless
The Emperor, mindful of the deep brotherhood they had shared in the past, only punished the War King by stripping him of his royal status, demoting him to a commoner, and exiling him and his relatives to the northern desert.
Execution will be carried out in three days...
Ouyang Yuqing was forced to kneel on the ground by several soldiers.
He stood ramrod straight, looking at Eunuch Lin. "Imperial grace? Deep brotherly affection?"
If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext...
"Eunuch Lin, please tell the Emperor that he thanks my elder brother for his deep brotherly affection..."
"Hmph, you're hopeless, let's go..."
Oh, by the way, His Majesty, moved by the brotherhood, will personally see them off in three days.
Walk……
Eunuch Lin came and went with an arrogant air, just like a fighting rooster with feathers stuck in its head.
Ouyang Yuqing leaned against the wall, staring blankly at a corner of the wall...
I wonder how the newlywed princess is doing now. She must be getting anxious while I was away...
The hidden guards can't see me; they must be in a real bind right now, aren't they? ...
I wonder how things are going with the army?
Ouyang Yuqing was making wild guesses in the Ministry of Justice prison, unaware that his beloved wife had already caused a huge uproar in the capital for his sake...
Inside the Jingzhaoyi Prefecture office, the Jingzhaoyi was frowning.
"Master, how many thefts have there been now?"
Your Excellency, this is the thirteenth person to report a crime.
"I'm just wondering, what kind of thief could steal from so many houses in one night?"
How many people could possibly move all the stolen goods out of Kyoto?
"Just these high-ranking officials and nobles, how much wealth must they have? How did these thieves manage to transport it?"
If the thief (Shen Yingying) sleeping soundly in the distance knew what Jing Zhaoyi was thinking, she would say: "A wave of the hand is not a matter of transportation; this is a mobile warehouse."
In the early morning, Shen Yingying woke up from her sleep, sat up, stretched, and yawned.
Mmm, that was a really good sleep...
"Xiao Tao..."
This servant is...
"Get me some water, I need to wash up..."
yes……
Ten minutes later, Shen Yingying sat down at the table and started eating steamed buns and millet porridge.
"Xiao Tao, go and call the housekeeper."
Yes, Your Highness...
Shen Yingying had just finished breakfast and wiped her mouth when Butler Feng arrived.
"Good morning, Your Highness..."
Good morning, housekeeper...
"Butler, have the accounts been checked?"
The accountant stayed up all night last night and has already checked. We have 9.83 million taels in our accounts.
The second wife's expenses totaled 350,000 taels.
We now have 9.48 million taels left.
Upon hearing the data, Shen Yingying chuckled inwardly, thinking to herself: "The Zhan Prince's Mansion is incredibly wealthy."
"Butler, I want you to go around collecting grain seeds, cotton, and other items in the next two days."
You arrange for someone to hire bodyguards to transport the collected items to the other side of the desert.
Let's pick a good spot in the desert and build a big castle.
"Your Highness, are we really going to be exiled to the desert?"
Do I look like I'm joking?
"This old servant simply finds it hard to believe that this is true, not that I don't believe what Your Highness says. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
It's alright. You should quickly arrange for someone to take out the four million taels of silver notes from the accounts and make arrangements for these things.
Send me the remaining five million taels of silver from your household; I have my own uses for it.
There's no time to lose, let's get on with it.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the imperial edict will be issued soon...
Sure enough, by the time the steward delivered five million taels of silver notes and he took the remaining four million taels to make a large-scale purchase, the imperial edict had already arrived outside the Prince of War's mansion.
