Chapter 600: Street Rat
"Master, something happened!"
Steward Fu panted heavily, "Master Qin... He's leading his troops this way, and they're almost at our residence."
Fu Yuanming frowned, "Lord Qin?
Are you sure you're coming towards our house?"
Although Lord Qin has been targeting me in the court these past two days, it was all because of their different political views.
Why would he suddenly lead his troops towards his home?
Anyway, he thought it was impossible.
Butler Fu nodded, “I’m sure it’s spread all over the place.
Master, please make a decision quickly, as Elder Qin and his men will be here soon."
The face of Prince Heng beside him was not very good. He had a gloomy face:
"Fu Yuanming, while there is still time, you'd better not keep anything that shouldn't be kept, and think carefully about what you shouldn't say.
You can do it. If anything happens to you, I will protect your family.
If you talk nonsense, don't blame me for ignoring you."
After saying that, he turned around and quickly left towards the back door under Fu Yuanming's grim gaze.
Lord Qin wouldn't appear here for no reason.
He must have some evidence in his hands that could put Fu Yuanming in an irretrievable situation, so he brought troops to the door, and that's why he asked Fu Yuanming not to talk nonsense.
Damn it, Xu Wuyan’s revenge came so quickly.
Now, he hated Fu Wenjie, that bastard, to death.
Not only did he fail to win over the people, but he also made a powerful enemy for himself.
It hasn't been long since the incident broke out, and the actions against them have come one after another, leaving them no time to think and respond.
Prince Heng looked very unhappy.
He has already taken action against Yuanming, so how far is it for us?
Also, the other party acted so quickly, maybe they already had all kinds of evidence that was unfavorable to them.
No, he has to find a way to protect himself first.
Thinking of this, Prince Heng quickened his pace. He had to go back and clean up the house.
As for Fu Yuanming, his expression was extremely ugly at this moment.
Without any hesitation, he hurriedly turned and walked to a bookshelf, then opened a secret compartment hidden in the wall behind it.
Then he took out several letters from the secret compartment.
He handed the letters to Butler Fu with a ferocious look on his face:
"Take these letters and keep them safe.
If something really happens to me and Prince Heng doesn't come forward to save the lady and the young master, you can take one of the letters to him and ask him to save them.
If you refuse, you can publish all these letters.
If my Fu family is not doing well, Prince Heng won't be doing well either."
It's impossible for Prince Heng to take all the benefits while I have to bear all the risks for him.
Butler Fu frowned, "Master hasn't reached that stage yet."
"Just in case." Fu Yuanming stuffed the letter into his hand and couldn't help sighing:
"It's all Fu Wenjie's fault. He's unreliable and has ruined our entire family."
At this moment, there was a loud noise coming from the direction of the gate.
It's really directed at me.
Fu Yuanming pursed his lips and said, "Hide these letters and go!"
As soon as he reached the front yard, Lord Qin came in with his men.
Looking at the uniformed imperial guards behind Lord Qin, Fu Yuanming was frightened, thinking that they were not friendly.
He immediately went to meet him with a smile on his face, "Master Qin, what brings you here?
Why didn't you send someone to notify me in advance so I could come out and wait for you!"
"East, south, west, north, whatever wind you like." Lord Qin had a cold expression on his face and didn't seem to want to greet him at all.
Fu Yuanming got a cold shoulder and his face sank.
But before he could say anything, Qin Ge Lao waved his hand and said, "Come here, arrest the traitor Fu Yuanming."
Fu Yuanming was startled and stepped back subconsciously, his face gloomy.
"Master Qin, what do you mean?
What qualifications do you have to arrest me?"
"I am following the emperor's orders. Is there a problem?" Qin Ge Lao sneered, then took out the imperial edict from his arms:
"Fu Yuanming, you have three sins.
When the Southwest Flood hit, you were corrupt and abused your power, replacing inferior water with high-quality ones, causing the newly built dam to burst within less than three years of use, resulting in countless deaths and injuries to the people in the Southwest, and the people were left with no choice but to live in misery.
Second, during your time as the chief examiner, you sold the exam questions and accepted bribes of 300,000 taels.
Third, you allowed your son to commit murder, causing the killing of eight innocent people. Furthermore, you had the audacity to dig up the tomb of Prince Anping.
All of these things could cost you your life, what else do you have to say now?"
Lord Qin had a gloomy look on his face.
At this point, he paused and grinned, "And the murder of my brother's entire family, Fu Yuanming, do you think I've forgotten?"
Fu Yuanming's face turned pale, he understood.
The reason why he sent people to kill that kid last year was to make him lose his grandson and collapse due to his body, so that they could take advantage of it.
But I didn’t expect that the boy was so lucky. All his uncle’s family died, but he survived.
Knowing that Qin Ge Lao would not let him go, Fu Yuanming panicked and shouted loudly:
"I am wronged, I want to see the emperor.
Your Majesty, I am wronged.
Your Majesty, I am only loyal to you, Your Majesty!"
…
Looking at Fu Yuanming howling like a clown, the smile on Qin Ge Lao's face became even brighter.
His second son’s only child almost died, so how could he not avenge this?
Then he shouted:
"Fu Yuanming openly resisted arrest. According to the Emperor's order, those who resist arrest should be beheaded on the spot.
Come on, take action!"
"yes!"
Qin Ge Lao's confidant immediately drew his knife and rushed towards Fu Yuanming. He wanted to harm their young master. He deserved to die!
Fu Yuanming didn't expect that Lord Qin would actually dare to take action.
When he saw the Qin family's servants rushing towards him with swords drawn, he rushed forward in fear:
"Master Qin, you are harming me.
I didn't resist arrest, you wronged me!
I didn't, I just wanted to see the emperor and seek justice for myself."
Seeing Fu Yuanming running around like a rat crossing the street, Lord Qin stopped his confidant.
Then he looked at Fu Yuanming with a mocking expression:
“Since there isn’t one, let’s go.
If you want to see the emperor, I will take you there right away."
He was playing tricks on him and wanted to see him make a fool of himself. Fu Yuanming's face became extremely ugly.
"Just wait, I will definitely file a complaint against you when I see the Emperor."
After saying that, he walked forward angrily.
Elder Qin sneered, a calculating look flashing in his eyes.
Idiot, you will die faster if you meet the emperor.
But this is what he wanted to see.
He has never been a good person. He caused the tragic death of his brother's family. Fu Yuanming should pay with his life.
As soon as he entered the palace, Fu Yuanming immediately knelt before the emperor and burst into tears, accusing Qin Ge Lao of framing him.
Lord Qin naturally came prepared.
Whenever Fu Yuanming said something, he would hand over a piece of evidence.
Later, a thick stack of evidence was placed on the emperor's desk.
Look, there is so much evidence!
The emperor's face turned terribly dark.
"Your Majesty, these are all fabricated by Qin Ge Lao. Don't be fooled." Fu Yuanming shook his head desperately while shaking his body.
"A wise and powerful person like you, Your Majesty, would definitely not be deceived by a villain, right?"
The emperor's expression softened somewhat, and he looked at Lord Qin with suspicion.
Lord Qin knew that the emperor was easily influenced, so he did not get angry. He took out another piece of evidence and handed it over respectfully.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Li was almost killed last year, and it was all thanks to Fu Yuanming. This is the evidence. If Your Majesty wants to see the witness, I will have him brought in." The boss of Qin Pavilion said with a stern face.
His own son died to save him, and his sister's only bloodline was almost killed. He didn't believe that the emperor still wanted to fool him.
Just as Lord Qin had guessed, the emperor, who had already felt guilty towards his sister and brother-in-law, became furious when he saw the evidence.
Without even listening to Fu Yuanming's explanation, they had him dragged down and beaten to death with sticks.
That was the only blood of his sister left in the world, and his brother-in-law died while saving him.
He actually dared to attack such a young man, he didn't know whether he lived or died.
The emperor looked at Qin Ge Lao and sighed:
"The Queen Mother misses Yuan Li very much. When you are free, have someone send him to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother for a few days."
Qin Ge Lao bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
It was time for him to go and make the elixir. The emperor waved his hand to let him go down, then stood up and walked to the next room where his alchemy furnace was.
Seeing that the emperor seemed to be obsessed with refining the elixir, Lord Qin sighed.
I'm afraid that Daye's fate is coming to an end.
He shook his head and turned to walk out of the palace.
Now, it's time for him to go and see what's going on over there with Prince Heng.
Prince Heng's ambition is really big. He has been hiding in the dark and causing so many troubles without being noticed by anyone. His thoughts are deep and terrifying enough.
At this time, Prince Heng was looking at the group of girls blocking the door of his palace with a grim face.
Judging from the way these girls were dressed, spoken and behaved, they were all brothel girls.
What makes King Heng angry now is where these brothel girls come from?
Why block your own door?
In order to maintain his low profile and non-confrontational attitude, King Heng simply persuaded them to leave with kind words.
It’s a pity that no one listened to him.
He looked very bad and was in a hurry to leave to deal with other things.
I can only leave this matter to the housekeeper.
But when the girls in the brothel saw that he was about to leave, they immediately rushed over and surrounded him, saying:
"Your Highness, you redeemed me, why don't you take me back home? You clearly said the day before yesterday that you didn't despise me. You don't take me back home, so you despise me, don't you?"
"Your Majesty, I am yours in life and in death. You can't drive me away. Don't worry, even if you are inhumane, I will not despise you."
"All of you, get out of the way. The prince is mine. He said he will be with me forever. All of you, get out of the way!"
