Rumble!
Very soon,
Countless guards gathered outside the hall. With Chen Wei's order, 40 to 50 people immediately rushed towards Lord Situ's residence.
The entire capital was in an uproar.
The guards of the king's manor passed by the streets of the city, attracting the attention of the commoners. They were very curious.
In the bustling city,
There were also many rumors.
This group of guards went straight to Cai Situ's residence. What were they doing?
Could it be that the monarch had really made a move on Cai Situ?
The news of the siege on the frontlines had long spread throughout the Chen Nation.
As a citizen of the capital, he was naturally more well-informed than other cities.
"That Cai Tao is Cai Wu's clan brother. He secretly colluded with the enemy and caused General Ying to be almost completely annihilated.”
"Hmph, this is retribution! By the heavens, we can finally exterminate the Cai Clan!”
"Ruler is wise!"
Bang!
The guards rushed into the Cai residence without any explanation and were greeted by a servant who scolded angrily,"Who are you? Don't you know what this place is?"
Puchi!
The guard didn't waste any time talking to him and stabbed his dagger into the servant's stomach.
Blood gushed out and splattered all over the ground.
In the next second, countless screams came from the Cai residence!
The leader of the guards in the king's residence was called Che Lu. He looked like a black-faced demon.
"The monarch has ordered that the entire Cai family be wiped out.”
It was like thunder.
Cai Wu ran out of the manor in a daze. When he saw this scene, he was so frightened that he suddenly fainted.
Seeing this, Che Lu said,"You came just in time. Tie him up!"”
Not a single person in the Cai manor was spared,
More than a dozen people died, and the rest were all captured alive.
Including Cai Wu, there were more than twenty people in his family, including his wife, daughter, and clan relatives.
As well as more than 80 maids, servants, and retainers, they were all kidnapped.
Looking at the boxes of jade, gold, coins, and large amounts of food and wine...
None of them were spared, and they were all pulled away by the chariot deer.
When he swaggered through the city, the civilians in the city clicked their tongues in wonder.
This Cai Wu was the Minister of the Chen Nation. Who would have thought that his family would actually hide such a small mountain of treasures?
At this moment, Cai Wu also woke up.
However, he had already been tied to the prison carriage.
"Put me down! Do you know who I am? I am the Great Minister!"
"How dare you rob my entire family? Do you want to die?”
"Put me down!"
No one paid attention to him.
"Situ Cai, take a good look at who I am!" Che Lu sneered.”
"Che…Guard Che?"
"Did…did the king send you here?”
Cai Wu immediately understood that these guards were from the monarch's residence!
"What crime have I committed? Why did the king want to rob my house?”Cai Wu said furiously.
He thought that he was Chen Guoquan's subject, below one person and above ten thousand people.
Even when he heard that the king wanted to raid his house, he was very dissatisfied.
Che Lu laughed coldly." Situ Cai probably doesn't know what crime you have committed. When we reach the monarch's manor and meet the monarch, you will naturally know."”
Cai Wu fell silent.
In an instant, cold sweat trickled down his body.
Could it be that…the emperor knew about that matter?
This was impossible!
How could the king dare to arrest him without evidence?!
The escort team quickly returned to the king's residence.
When Cai Wu was tied up and kneeling in the main hall, he was dumbfounded when he saw Chen Wei.
This was because Chen Wei was holding Cai Tao's reply letter in his hand.
"Situ Cai, how dare you! How dare you collude with the enemy and harm our Chen Country's general! What crime should I be punished for!"
Pa!
He threw the bamboo slip in front of Cai Wu.
His entire body was trembling, and his face was pale. He kowtowed.
"Ruler…please spare my life!”
Chen Wei couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with him.
Escorting Cai Wu over was just a formality.
Everyone knew that Cai Wu was finished.
The monarch had the evidence of the Cai clan colluding with the enemy, so even if Cai Wu and the other clan relatives wanted to protect him, they had no reason to do so.
Moreover, with this bamboo slip, the Cai Clan was finished.
They were the biggest nobles in the Chen Nation, but they had fallen from heaven to hell in one day.
"Men! Put Cai Wu in prison and behead him in a few days!”
"Yes!"
Cai Wu howled and begged for mercy as he was dragged away.
At this moment, Cao Jing walked out from behind a copper pillar and came in front of Chen Wei, bowing.
"Physician Cao, you have contributed the most this time. Cai Wu has already bowed his head. I wonder if you are willing to take on the position of Great Situ?”
Chen Wei said with his hands behind his back and his eyes narrowed.
Cao Jing was so excited that he knelt down in front of Chen Wei while trembling."I! I'm willing!"
Cao Jing became the Minister of State of Chen as he wished.
He was in charge of the country's taxes, land, and people. He had great authority.
The Cao family had also replaced the Cai family and become the peak of power in the current Chen country.
As for Cai Wu, because he had betrayed his country and colluded with the enemy, Chen Wei naturally did not only want his Cai Residence to be buried with him.
Including the entire Chen Nation, there were more than 300 members of the Cai Clan. A few days later, they were escorted back to the capital.
All kinds of family property, utensils, a total of three million taels of money.
Among them, cloth, silk, jade, gold, grain, wine, coins, and toys were countless.
This was a total of three million taels!
A great noble was actually richer than the entire national treasury of the Chen Nation.
No wonder the late king didn't want to force a southern barbarian to retreat for 500,000 taels.
This was the reason.
……
"The monarch has issued an edict. The Cai family has betrayed the country and betrayed the enemy. They are corrupt and deserve to die.”
In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was no such criminal law as the execution of an entire family, but it was a fact.
Jin Ling Gong abandoned the state affairs, Zhao Dun failed to persuade him, but was assassinated by Ling Gong.
