Chapter 1561: Chapter 1560 The Plans of the Wu Family_1

The Duan family had transferred their wealth beforehand, which is why their departure was swift and decisive—they left as soon as they said they would.

"Uh... could it also have been transferred to Longshi Country?" Bei Lingsu said uncertainly.

"We’ll find out after an interrogation," Yang Wenxiao spoke up.

"Grandpa Emperor, leave this matter to me. You and Father Emperor should rest. Tomorrow at the morning court, you both need to announce this matter to the ministers, and both of you must be present," Yang Hao said.

This was indeed the truth. The sudden raid on the Wu Family would surely cause an earthquake in the Capital City. Other Aristocratic Families would undoubtedly be restless and anxious. To stabilize the situation in Capital City, a thorough explanation was needed for the ministers tomorrow.

So, Yang Wenxiao and Emperor Yongan went to rest, leaving Yang Hao behind to interrogate the Wu family members.

Bei Yun, who complained that going to bed late would affect his looks, also wanted to sleep. Therefore, Bei Lingsu ordered a bed to be made for him to sleep in the hall.

Qiao Xiaomai was still feeling alert; she could stay up late, so she joined Yang Hao in interrogating the Wu family members.

She was very concerned about where the Wu family’s wealth had gone; it was closely related to her own interests. freёweɓnovel.com

With Bei Lingsu present, the interrogation was a simple affair. She had a variety of strange and rare poisons that could make life worse than death. The Wu family members, accustomed to luxury, couldn’t withstand it at all. After being poisoned, they all confessed.

The Wu family’s wealth had indeed been transferred to Longshi Country, and not long ago at that. The Wu family had planned to quietly transfer people there as well, but just as they moved the wealth, Bei Lingsu appeared with the imperial army.

The Wu family had great power in the previous dynasty, with family members all over the country. After Daqi was established, Yang Wenxiao spent decades slowly replacing the Wu family members, like boiling a frog in warm water. To rebel, or not—to rebel meant facing danger, to not meant eventually being completely uprooted by Yang Wenxiao.

And the gambling between Wu Yancai and Tong Sanlang made Wu Yuanxian decide.

They must rebel.

Without rebelling, life was unbearable. Since Wu Yancai had already offended Tong Sanlang, they would definitely become the main target of Yang Wenxiao’s crackdown.

The Wu family would not only have to compensate with all their silver but also lose everything they had accumulated over centuries.

Rather than waiting to be killed, they chose to strike first.

Wu Yuanxian thought it over and reached out to the Duan family in Yuhu.

The Wu and Duan families were related by marriage in the previous generation. Although this generation wasn’t linked by marriage, compared to other Aristocratic Families, the two families had a closer relationship.

Moreover, exactly because of this marriage connection, the Wu family knew about the various chaotic poisons in Yuhu. If they used poison against Tong Sanlang, it would surely be easier than a real fight with guns and knives.

Tong Sanlang was only skilled in Martial Arts; he didn’t understand poison.

So, Wu Yuanxian approached the Duan family and carefully analyzed the current situation. He wasn’t naive enough to speak directly of rebellion in his letter, but the implied meaning was clear.

The Duan family of Yuhu happened to harbor the idea of rebellion and immediately sent people to capture the Zhang Family when they received the letter from Wu Yuanxian.

Thus, the journey to Yuhu ensued.

A seemingly flawless plan was foiled by the unexpected intervention of Bei Lingsu. The Duan family, without even fighting, directly retreated to Longshi Country. Upon hearing this news in the Capital City, Wu Yuanxian was terrified, like a dog that had lost its family. He immediately sent people to get in touch with Duan Tian.

Duan Tian suggested that he too should come to Longshi Country, or else he would sooner or later become a ghost under Yang Wenxiao’s blade.

So, he began to transfer his wealth. After half a year of handling, more than half of his wealth had been transferred away.
