Thanks to the information provided by the secret guards, and the fact that the general and the censor's men had visited the secret room in the prime minister's house in advance, they did find the dragon robe inside.
Therefore, the imperial guards quickly returned to the palace with the evidence to report.
When the dog emperor saw that he had really found the dragon robe in Liu Ruhui's house, he was furious on the spot.
If the deposed crown prince and the eldest prince had not stopped him, Liu Ruhui would have been sentenced to death on the spot, and his entire clan would have been implicated and their property would have been confiscated.
Finally, he calmed down and decided to follow the procedure and hand the case over to the Dali Temple for trial.
Originally, the deposed crown prince and the eldest prince meant to delay time and wait until the prime minister was found, which would definitely help them turn the tide.
In the end, the prime minister was found. Even if they were beaten to death, they would not believe that he was found in this way.
In addition, the dog emperor’s personal eunuch Wang Fuhai was killed, and his death was in such a cruel way.
The report of Liu Ruhui's affairs was like adding fuel to the fire. The dog emperor went crazy.
He immediately rescinded the order and ordered the imperial guards to throw the disgraceful body of Liu Ruhui into a mass grave and chop off his head and hang it on the city gate for public display.
The Liu family was implicated, and all nine clans were executed. The men were taken to Caishikou to be beheaded at 15:30 in the afternoon in the capital, and those from other places were handed over to the local government for execution. The women were all sent to the frontier military camps to serve as military prostitutes.
The deposed crown prince and the eldest prince both knelt down and begged for mercy. Both of them had business dealings with the prime minister and had married the prime minister's daughters. If they went back and cried all day long, they would be annoyed to death.
"Father, please have mercy. The Prime Minister was killed last night and his body was hung on the city gate for public display. Then the dragon robe was found in his home. There must be something hidden here!"
The angry dog emperor kicked these two stupid sons out with two feet, "I don't care what the hidden secret is, and I still want to say that killing is a good thing. If he is not killed today, I will be the one to be killed another day.
Liu Ruhui deserved to die, just like you two, stupid as hell, get out of here right now and stop getting in my way!"
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, there was a loud cry in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
But Leng Yue, Huo Jingxuan, Qi Lao and others who were hiding in the tree watching the fun were very happy.
Everyone decided to go to the street to buy two strings of firecrackers to set off and celebrate.
Leng Yue didn't expect the dog emperor to react so strongly. She thought he would at least be executed in the autumn.
This is how it is usually played out in TV dramas, with trial and conviction, plus slow traffic on the road, and all those remote and unrelated relatives are gathered together, and it can take several months to drag on.
She patted Huo Jingxuan's arm and said, "My husband, I have blown this dog emperor's brain clear. He is very decisive and makes decisions faster than I thought!"
Not to mention Huo Jingxuan was surprised, even Elder Qi, Elder Liu, and Elder Sun were surprised.
However, as long as the verdict is out, it's worth waiting in vain this morning.
In comparison now, they are so happy.
It's just an exile, just treat it as a vacation and enjoy the scenery.
All the men in the Liu family were killed, and it is estimated that one third of the women committed suicide, and another third died on the way. For the remaining one third, even if they reached the military camp alive, their fate would be worse than death, and the end would still be death.
However, they did not feel pity for the Liu family at all.
For all the evil things done by the Liu family, even if you kill the entire Liu family ten times, it would not be enough to offset them.
Old Sun asked Leng Yue to enter the space and talk to his wife, Ouyang.
The outcome of the couple's discussion was to generate income for Leng Yue, because his family had a large amount of silver, which should not have been found during the house search.
Now, they have seen the abilities of Leng Yue and Huo Jingxuan and decided to donate the silver.
"Whether you use it to support the army or purchase weapons and food, as long as you are not committing crimes, we have no objection."
But Huo Jingxuan and Leng Yue discussed it and finally decided that they didn't want the money.
One reason is that before the time for the uprising came, they had plenty of money and could not spend it all.
Another thing is that no matter how much money you have, it belongs to others. You can’t be obsessed with all the money, especially your subordinates’ money. This is a taboo in the workplace.
As a boss, how can you care about the little money in your subordinates' pockets? Who will dare to do a good job for you in the future?
The little bit of compensation that you worked so hard to earn will eventually go back into the boss' pocket. At best, your subordinates will defect to the enemy, or at worst, they will ruin your business and even take your life.
Leng Yue said, "Well, if your money is well kept and no one can find it, then you can continue to hide it there.
If you are really worried, you can dig it out and I will exchange it for gold or silver notes so that you can carry it with you."
Old Man Sun and Ouyang understood what Leng Yue meant. The other party didn't want the money, no matter how much, not even if it was given for free.
Everyone felt more at ease. To be honest, they were also afraid when they met such a powerful master.
They were afraid that he would take their things, and they were also afraid that he might take their lives at any time.
When everyone arrived at Old Sun's former mansion, they discovered that it looked ordinary on the outside, but it was full of wonders on the inside. It was just wasted due to the house being ransacked.
Many things were smashed to pieces. Ouyang secretly cried several times as she watched the home she had built up become like this.
Finally, he led everyone directly to a dry well in the backyard. Old Sun tied a rope and went down the well himself to open the mechanism for everyone. Ordinary people would not be able to find it even if they went down.
With a rumbling sound in the well, Old Sun shouted from below, "Okay, a few people come down to help."
Sun Jingfeng was dumbfounded. He had lived here for so many years, but he didn't know that there was silver hidden in the abandoned dry well in his home!
Hearing his father's voice, he was the first to go down, followed by An Jiu and An Shi also going to help in the afternoon.
An Jiu was simply dragged along by An Shi to make up the numbers. As for An Shi, he was just a money-grubber.
Whenever he heard that there was money, he would join in the fun, no matter if it was his own or not. He said that it was good just to satisfy his eyes.
In the end, a total of about one million taels of silver were brought up.
Old Qi and Old Liu patted Old Sun on the shoulder and said, "Old Sun, I didn't realize you are so rich!
You usually act like you can't afford to eat, and you even want to patch up your official uniform before wearing it. You act really well!"
Old Sun smiled awkwardly and quickly stated, "This money is my wife's dowry, it's not something I embezzled!"
After he said this, Mr. Qi and Mr. Liu recalled a rumor in Beijing back then, saying that Sun Wanqing was a son-in-law who married into the family because his father-in-law was extremely wealthy and had only one daughter, and all the property was given to him.
But later, everyone was fooled by Mr. Sun's pretending to be poor, and they thought it was just a rumor spread by others and didn't take it seriously.
It turns out that this is all true and not groundless at all!
"Well, you old bastard, you are amazing, we have all been fooled by you!
You said you have such acting skills, how come you ended up being exiled with us? Then you should be a favorite of the dog emperor, right? "Old Qi and Old Liu squeezed Old Sun together.
Everyone was watching the fun from the sidelines. It was rare for a few old guys to make some news.
Elder Sun was helpless, "What can I do? Rumors are flying everywhere. My family was robbed three times a night at most. We couldn't sleep well because of the disturbance.
So later on, I thought of this dirty trick of pretending to be poor, and it really worked. Within three days, thieves avoided my house, and I could sleep peacefully. "
Now that the mystery has been solved and the excitement is over, Leng Yue changed the silver into general silver notes for Ouyang and decided to take everyone back. There was still a wave of half-dead killers waiting for them to deal with when they get back.
