Rumbling sounds of horse hooves broke the silence of the Daytime Market. All the wealthy and influential families were so frightened that their hearts were in their throats.
In front of the gate of the Loyal and Brave Earl's Residence, seven or eight servants in armor were standing guard. They looked at Wang Cheng's team with shock, but in the next second, they were shot into a sieve.
"Charge!"
Following Wang Cheng's cold voice, a black mass of system main city soldiers rushed into the Zhongyong Earl's residence like wolves and tigers. One of them stood in front of the wide open red door and raised the Emperor's Sword in his hand as he shouted,
"The loyal and brave uncle Li Si is resting with the country. Instead of being loyal to the country, he secretly colluded with Li Ni in a vain attempt to overthrow Zhu Ming and welcome Li Ni as a traitor. Now, there are witnesses and evidence. The first criminal has been imprisoned. He is in charge of the affairs of the capital.”
After he finished speaking, he raised the Emperor's Sword in his hand and strode into the residence of the Count of Loyalty and Bravery.
The silence in the manor was instantly broken. A large group of armed servants rushed out of the manor. Some of them were even wearing armor.
"How dare you! Who are you?!"
"You actually dare to trespass into the residence of the loyal and brave uncle and still dare to be impudent?”
"Go, kill them."
Amidst the chaos, countless servants picked up their weapons and charged at Wang Cheng's subordinates. Both sides immediately began to fight, and the sound of weapons clashing instantly resounded throughout the entire Zhongyong Manor.
At this moment, two figures came to the courtyard under the protection of the servants.
"General Wang, General Wang, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!”
Wang Cheng walked into the courtyard surrounded by the crowd. He looked at the situation in the arena and his eyes turned cold."According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, those who hide armor will be punished for treason. Uncle Zhong Yong will be sentenced to death according to the law. Those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the system main city soldiers behind him pulled out their weapons and charged at the loyal and brave servants. In their line of sight, people kept falling to the ground.
At the same time, countless knights rushed into the other noble mansions in batches according to the targets they had set earlier. The battle cries almost instantly resounded throughout the entire Bright Time Lane.
"Uncle Sincerity, Liu Kongzhao, had an affair with Li Ni…His entire family was confiscated!”
"Xing An Earl Xu Zhi 'an, trying to overthrow the Ming Dynasty…to confiscate his property.”
"Zhu Guobi, the Marquis of Funing, disregarded the emperor's kindness and attempted to overthrow Zhu Ming's world…and ransack his family.”
"Zhang Guoji, Marquis of Taikang, doesn't think of serving the country…confiscate his family.”
“……”
One by one, noble families were broken through by Wang Cheng's men. The sound of the house being raided resounded throughout the eastern and western cities. The entire eastern and western cities were crying.
Countless people with disheveled hair were escorted to the imperial prison. For a time, the prison was actually full.
……
The white-haired Zhongyong Bo knelt in front of Chongzhen and gritted his teeth as he complained about Wang Cheng.
"Your Majesty, that Wang Cheng has no respect for the law. We, the nobles, are resting with the country. How could I have an affair with Li Ni?”
A man in his sixties was crying like a child at this moment. His eyes were swollen like peaches.
A hint of impatience flashed in Chong Zhen's eyes as he frowned. He was not happy with Zhong Yong Bo.
Wang Cheng had left a deep impression on him. He did not believe that Wang Cheng would do such a thing.
Wang Chengen, who was on the side, went forward to help Courage and said to Courage,""Uncle, is there a misunderstanding? Lord Wang is not that kind of person."
"Misunderstanding? Misunderstanding my ass! He killed someone in my mansion. If I hadn't run away quickly, I would have died by now.”
Right at this moment, with a burst of noise, hundreds of ministers swarmed in front of Chong Zhen. Every one of them was furious, as if they were in mourning, and their eyes were filled with fear.
Before Chong Zhen could finish his sentence, these people had already knelt on the ground with a thud and cried out at the top of their lungs,
"I beg Your Majesty to uphold justice for my Anyuan Manor. Wang Cheng has wronged me…"
"My Marquis of Tranquil Yang's residence is wronged, I, Marquis of Tranquil Yang, have lost all face…"
"Your Majesty, I, Gongshun Marquisdom, am a loyal person. How could I have an affair with Li Ni…"
"Your Majesty, Wang Cheng raided my Fu Ning Manor, he simply has no respect for the law…"
“……”
Chong Zhen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, listened to the chaotic conversation below. His brows were almost knitted into a line. He finally heard everyone's questions clearly.
Wang Cheng had raided all of their homes, all for the reason of having an affair with the traitor Li Zicheng.
At the thought of this, Chong Zhen's anger surged. His eyes instantly turned red as he stood up and shouted,"Enough!"
Everyone's voice came to an abrupt stop. They all raised their heads to look at Chong Zhen, their faces still covered in tears.
Chong Zhen stood on the spot and paced back and forth in frustration. His suspicious gaze kept sweeping over this group of people. His face was as dark as water. Wang Qing didn't seem like a person who would cause trouble. Could it be that they were really colluding with Li Zicheng, that traitor?
However, Chong Zhen's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and he had doubts in his heart. The dignitaries were all people who lived with the country. It was understandable that one of them had an affair with Li Zicheng, but dozens of them?
Chong Zhen instinctively denied this answer.
"What is Wang Qing's family doing? Is it really for the silver?"
His muttering was clearly abnormal in the study, and the nobles who were closer to him all heard it.
Courage's face darkened as he gritted his teeth,""Which general doesn't love silver? He was clearly relying on His Majesty's favor and had no respect for the law.”
"Where did he get his soldiers? It's clearly an attempt to rebel."
"Your Majesty, please understand!"
Dozens of people knelt on the ground in unison, but Chong Zhen looked at them with a hint of gloominess. Could it be that I was wrong about Wang Cheng?
……
At the same time, in a drill ground in the capital camp, a long line of transport troops was constantly entering and leaving. Countless system soldiers silently moved these things into the drill ground.
"Pa, pa, pa."
One box after another was opened by the soldiers of the capital camp. The dazzling light made Wang Cheng's eyes narrow, but the surrounding soldiers of the capital camp did not look sideways, still maintaining strict military discipline.
Wang Cheng's eyes flashed with admiration. The system main city soldiers had once again refreshed his knowledge. Their discipline was comparable to that of the later generations. Moreover, this was only the first-class soldiers. There would be more in the future...
At this moment, the logistics officer at the side had already opened his notebook and started reporting."Reporting to Great General, the gold, silver, and jewelry obtained from this raid are worth a total of seventy million taels of silver.”
"Seventy million taels? Heh."
Wang Cheng's eyes flashed as he pressed his hand on the chest filled with wealth. The gold, silver, and jewelry inside disappeared visibly, but the surrounding soldiers of the capital camp turned a blind eye.
"Ding-dong. You have absorbed 60 million taels of silver!”
A transparent system screen instantly appeared in front of Wang Cheng. Looking at the introduction on it, Wang Cheng's heart burned with excitement...
