Chapter 14: The Prime Minister’s Residence was also ransacked?
"Shen Xiangwan?!"
Led by the old lady, most of the people in the second and third rooms stared in disbelief. They obviously did not expect that at this time, she would bring up the household expenses and even want to pin the crime of hiding valuables on them!
"is it?"
Ignoring them, Tian Yi's questions followed.
"Everyone in the palace knows about this. If the general doesn't believe it, feel free to ask."
Shrugging, Shen Xiangwan nodded at the others.
After making sure that she couldn't be lying and looking at Wei Chengyi who was still unconscious, Tian Yi strode towards the old lady and asked, "Tell me the truth, where did you transfer the property to?"
"No, I, I don't know, I didn't..."
The old lady was so frightened that she kept waving her hands and couldn't speak clearly. The people from the second and third rooms who were with her couldn't help but hold their breath and shake their heads. They really didn't know.
"You bold old woman, why don't you tell the truth now!"
"what···"
Tian Yi shouted sternly, and the old lady shuddered reflexively, her body retreating uncontrollably. If it weren't for the people from the second and third rooms gathered behind her, she would have probably fallen to the ground.
"General Tian, we really don't know why the property in the mansion disappeared. It was clearly there yesterday. General Tian, please investigate."
Supporting his mother who was about to collapse, Second Master Wei Jingluan spoke as calmly as possible.
"Why should I trust you?"
With Tian Yi's ability, how could he not see that there was something fishy about this matter? What he wanted now was not money or property, but someone who could help him get things done.
"General Tian..." "General."
Wei Jingluan seemed to realize something and wanted to continue to protest his injustice, but a soldier suddenly trotted in from outside and said, "General, the property of the Prime Minister's Mansion has disappeared. General Zeng, who is in charge of confiscating them, has reported it. The emperor ordered you to speed up. There is no need to imprison the Wei family. Exile them as soon as possible."
"Ok?"
The same thing happened in the Prime Minister's Residence? This matter seemed to be getting more and more strange. The Emperor specially sent someone to urge him, presumably because he didn't want to cause any more trouble.
Tian Yi frowned slightly, looked at Wei Jingluan and the others before turning around and leaving. This matter had come to an end for the time being.
However, upon hearing that the prime minister's residence had also been ransacked, many resentful eyes fell on Shen Xiangwan. Not only did she beat Wang Lan today, she also deliberately brought up the household chores. Previously, they had taken into account that she was the prime minister's legitimate daughter after all, so even if they were unhappy, they did not show it too obviously. They might even need her help in the future.
But now, the Prime Minister's Mansion is gone, and they want to see how she will act next!
Shen Xiangwan is not a fool, nor does he have sensory disorders. How could he not feel the malicious intent?
But she just curled her lips and didn't react at all. No matter who it was, as long as he dared to stretch out his claws towards her, she would chop him off without mercy.
Tian Yi did not delay any longer and quickly ordered his men to search all the courtyards. He then looked at the servants standing on the right: "Put them all in jail, and send them to the official slave office after the government has verified whether they are slaves."
They also belong to the palace's property and are subject to confiscation.
"Yes."
Dozens of soldiers stepped forward to drive them away. The servants did not dare to resist and left the palace obediently. Only a very few of them turned back quietly to take a last look at their former masters when no one was paying attention. As for the Wei family, they did not dare to make a sound from beginning to end, for fear that Tian Yi would shift his attention to them again.
