587 Imprisonment, Feng Qingchen is not afraid

Wang Jinling was patient and had endurance, but when he made the decision to act, he would act swiftly and decisively without any delay. In just half a day, Wang Jinling had taken down the three elders Ren, Shan and Zhi. He didn't even need to open the ancestral hall. With the prestige he had just established, he expelled the seven people who disobeyed his orders from the Wang family.

Greed is insatiable. As the great elder of the Wang family, he enjoyed wealth and glory but was not satisfied. He always wanted more and wanted to gain more for his descendants.

In order to ensure that their descendants have a superior status in the Wang family and not be stepped on by others, the three elders have put in a lot of effort and tried every possible way to dig into the family's interests.

Worse still, when the grain prices in the four countries were fluctuating wildly, the three elders enriched themselves and took the opportunity to make a fortune, but caused the Wang family to lose a lot of money.

If the Ninth Prince had not handed the evidence to him, he would not have dared to believe that the Wang family members who always claimed to be concerned about the family were so selfish.

Thinking about the family, hahahaha... Only he is so stupid. Facing a group of selfish people, he has never doubted them.

But it's better this way, if they weren't so greedy, how could he have the opportunity to abolish the three elders and take the power of the Wang family into his hands. Wang Jinling flipped through the account book, checking the income of the Wang family in the past few years, and his eyes became colder and colder.

"In just forty years, the three elders have become quite capable. Their private assets combined are more than the Wang family's annual income. No wonder he took a fancy to them."

With a snap, Wang Jinling closed the account book and said to the people behind him, "Go and give 50% of the three elders' property to them, and say the extra 10% is my gift."

Of course, this property was sent to the Ninth Prince. How could the Ninth Prince help Wang Jinling for no reason? The Ninth Prince had his eyes on the Wang family's money. The wealth accumulated by the Wang family over thousands of years was more than the national treasury. How could the Ninth Prince let go of such a rich man?

"Yes, sir." Although the people behind him were surprised, they did not dare to ask more questions and nodded their heads.

Wang Jinling threw the account book on the table, stood up, walked back and forth in the room twice, thought for a while and spoke: "Notify all the Wang family's stores and spread the news that the Ninth Prince was imprisoned, the sky was dissatisfied, and the mountain exploded. I want every town in Dongling to have this news."

Compared with the Wang family, which has been in business for many years, the Ninth Prince has limited connections. If Wang Jinling adds fuel to the fire behind the scenes, things will escalate. By then, even the emperor will not be able to stop the people from talking. With the banner of God pressing down on him, the emperor's every move will be watched by others, and he will not dare to act rashly.

"Yes, sir." As the confidant of Wang Jinling's confidant, he is absolutely trustworthy.

"Go down."

Wang Jinling nodded. He originally wanted to ask another question about Feng Qingchen, but after thinking about it, he decided not to bring it up. Since the Ninth Prince dared to give the phoenix hairpin to Feng Qingchen, he must have a countermeasure. The Emperor wanted to use Feng Qingchen as a weapon to intimidate the Ninth Prince's faction, and his plan might fail.

Just as Wang Jinling guessed, when Zhai Dongming rushed to the West District courtyard to deliver the message to Feng Qingchen, Feng Qingchen was stunned for a moment and then laughed.

"My Lord, why are you so anxious? People who don't know the truth may think you are the one in jail."

"How can I not be anxious? The Ninth Prince has been imprisoned, and you will be the next one." Zhai Dongming wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook it violently, leaving a mark on the ground.

Feng Qingchen glared at Zhai Dongming with disgust. "My Lord, it's useless for you to be anxious. The Emperor won't release the Ninth Prince just because you're anxious. Besides, the Ninth Prince won't stay in jail for too long. If the Emperor locks up the Ninth Prince, he will be the one with a headache."

Feng Qingchen was not worried at all about the Ninth Prince being imprisoned this time. She believed that when the Emperor threatened him with his mother, the Ninth Prince should have made arrangements. Even if the Ninth Prince did not make arrangements, it didn't matter. As long as the Emperor did not execute him on the spot, she would have a way to rescue him.

When Zhai Dongming heard this, he almost jumped up in anger. It was already this late, and Feng Qingchen was still in the mood to joke: "Feng Qingchen, be serious. This could cost you your life."

Hearing the news that the Ninth Prince was imprisoned, he and his grandfather were shocked. The emperor's thundering attack was truly extraordinary and captured the Ninth Prince in an instant. Unless something catastrophic happened, the Ninth Prince would never be able to turn things around in his life.

I thought Feng Qingchen would be so scared that his face turned pale, but Feng Qingchen was calm and composed. His expression was as if he had heard that the weather was good today. He remembered that he had told Wang Jinling before, and Jinling was also this Dexing. He raised his eyebrows and said, "The Ninth Prince is in prison. I know."

After saying that, he drove him out of the Wang family and asked him to come and see Feng Qingchen. As a result... Feng Qingchen didn't need him to look after her. Feng Qingchen was much calmer than him.

"I'm not being careless, my lord. Don't worry, the Ninth Prince will be fine. The Emperor said that the Ninth Prince was disobedient, but it was just based on the Emperor's words. There is no substantial evidence at all. As for me? The Emperor can't punish me." Feng Qingchen ordered someone leisurely: "Tong Jue, go and get the phoenix hairpin on my desk."

"Yes, miss." Tong Jue smiled slyly. She was looking forward to seeing the Imperial Guards being humiliated.

"Is everything really going to be fine?" Seeing this, Zhai Dongming calmed down. Looking at Feng Qingchen, it seemed that he had the situation under control.

Could it be that the Ninth Prince had already anticipated this? That shouldn't be the case!

"Don't worry, it won't..."

"Bang..."

Before Feng Qingchen could finish his words, there was a loud bang, and the door of the courtyard in the west area was violently kicked open. Guards in armor and holding spears rushed in like tigers and wolves, pointing their spears at Feng Qingchen with murderous intent.

"My Lord, I'm sorry. We are busy with our work. Please give me some convenience." The leader of the Imperial Guard saw Zhai Dongming and was stunned for a moment before stepping forward and bowing to Zhai Dongming, signaling the Imperial Guard to separate Zhai Dongming. Zhai Dongming saw that Feng Qingchen was calm and measured, so he stood aside in a cooperative manner: "Please."

The leader of the Imperial Guard was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhai Dongming to say such nice things. However, the nicer the words, the better for them. He bowed to Zhai Dongming and turned to Feng Qingchen and said, "Miss Feng, please come with us."

"It's you?" Feng Qingchen smiled when he saw the familiar person.

When Feng Qingchen was imprisoned by the emperor, it was this man who led the soldiers to guard her. When the Feng Mansion was on fire, this man did not abandon her, but rushed into the fire to save her. She was quite grateful to this man.

"Yes, Miss Feng, we have met." The leader of the Royal Guards saw that Feng Qingchen was not panicked and secretly admired her.

She is worthy of being a woman who can walk side by side with the Ninth Prince. Her bearing is several times stronger than that of ordinary women. He has been a royal guard for so many years, and he remained calm and composed when being taken to prison. Apart from the Ninth Prince, the only other person who was calm and composed was Feng Qingchen.

Feng Qingchen smiled bitterly: "Yes, we meet again. Every time I meet you, nothing good happens. This time, you are here with bad intentions."

Feng Qingchen glanced at the endless number of imperial guards. She had to admit that the emperor really gave her face. What was his intention in making such a big fuss and sending so many people to arrest her...
