Chapter 954: 443: Raid the household and exterminate the clan! Kill kill kill!_2

Yin Zhou’s young master Fang Qingyi flashed a smile, raised his glass, and said, "We need to weave a net so tight that once anyone falls into it, there is no escape—not by force, nor by soft methods."

Suo Lun said, "Interest groups are ferocious beasts, capable of devouring everything. Gold Coins are even more terrifying beasts; once released, it’s impossible to cage them again. King Quo Bian was formidable, strictly defending against us, not allowing us to invest in the official Rage Wave Kingdom financial institutions, not permitting us to partake in land transactions, forbidding us from participating in military provisions trading. But once Zhi Li came to power, everything was relaxed all at once. With astronomical sums of money, we easily seized these economic high grounds in the Rage Wave Kingdom, cultivating a massive interest group. Now, no one can change this—no matter who sits on the throne, they must listen to us, or they wouldn’t even have the chance to pay their soldiers. Without our support, their commands won’t even make it out of the palace."

Fang Qingyi responded, "Exactly, so do not fear borrowing money. Whether it’s Zhi Li or Suo Lun, anyone willing to borrow is a good puppet. The more they borrow, the better; it’s just money going from our left hand to our right."

Suo Lun laughed and said, "Seeing Suo Lun’s pale little face today, he really was prettier than a woman, stirring up a bit of pity and a flutter in my heart."

The Finance Minister Suo Lun, who is a lover of beautiful boys, does not discriminate between genders.

Fang Qingyi glanced over and said, "What? Thinking of making him your bed partner? Once he owes us ten million Gold Coins, maybe you really will have that chance."

"Ha ha ha..." Suo Lun said, "If I were to dabble with Suo Lun, then what would that make me and Zhi Yan? Ha ha ha..."

Just then, outside, there was a sudden sound of intense horse hooves and orderly, urgent footsteps.

Fang Qingyi frowned and asked, "What’s going on?"

Suo Lun speculated, "Could it be that Suo Lun couldn’t handle the pressure and has come to us voluntarily?"

Just then, Suo Lun’s butler sprinted in, his voice trembling, "Master, something terrible has happened, the Imperial Guards have completely surrounded our mansion."

Upon hearing this, Suo Lun and Fang Qingyi’s faces drastically changed.

What does Suo Lun mean by this?

"Let’s go outside and see!" Fang Qingyi ordered.

Then, under the protection of several hundred Yin Zhou warriors, the two men walked out of the mansion to the main gate.

There, they saw the Shadow Cabinet and Imperial Guards had teamed up, over five thousand men surrounding Suo Lun’s residence so tightly that not even water could escape. Leading them were the Imperial Guards’ Commander Hei Ningqi and an unexpected person, Duke Turing Tuo’s son, Turing Chen.

Suo Lun’s heart shook, his face turning cold and angry, "Hei Ningqi, what are you trying to do?"

Hei Ningqi, with a coffin-like face, said, "Raid the house, exterminate the family!"

"You dare..." Suo Lun said fiercely, "I’m not just the Rage Wave Kingdom’s Finance Minister, but also an elder of the Hidden Yuan Association. My foster brother is Baron, the Great Judge of the Zhidu Tribunal! Who dares to touch me? Summon Suo Lun to see me!"

Hei Ningqi ignored him, simply waving his hand and ordering, "Go!"

Immediately, the Imperial Guards’ and Shadow Cabinet Warriors aggressively rushed forward.

"Hold on!" Yin Zhou’s young master Fang Qingyi shouted, "Commander Hei Ningqi, this mansion is Yin Zhou’s territory, the Rage Wave Kingdom’s military has no right to intrude."

Hei Ningqi sneered, "This is Rage Wave Kingdom’s land. Since when did it become Yin Zhou’s territory? When did Yin Zhou ever have its own territory?"

Fang Qingyi replied, "This was purchased by Yin Zhou, personally approved by His Highness Zhi Li."

"Ha ha ha..." Hei Ningqi laughed, "So if Yin Zhou buys all the land in the royal city, does that mean the Zhi Du Royal City is your Yin Zhou’s territory too?"

Having said that, Hei Ningqi pulled out a land deed, "This so-called purchase agreement of yours, is it this? I’m very sorry, according to the kingdom’s law, it’s clear that non-citizens of the kingdom can lease land, they can buy houses, but absolutely no land transactions are permitted. Meaning, these houses can be yours, but the land still belongs to the Rage Wave Kingdom. The Regent Duke said, all these land transactions were Zhi Li’s private undertakings and are illegal, effective immediately void!"

"Shh..." Instantly, Hei Ningqi tore the land deed to shreds.

Fang Qingyi’s face turned pale in shock.

If this land deed was illegal, then the thousands of other land deeds would also be voided.

That involved astronomical amounts of Gold Coins, astronomical amounts of land.

Instantly, Fang Qingyi coldly said, "Is Suo Lun declaring war on my Yin Zhou?"

Hei Ningqi replied, "Not at all, it’s merely a rectification of previous misgovernance. However, the Regent Duke said, if Yin Zhou wants to start a war, even if it means another civil war with tens or hundreds of millions dying, he wouldn’t care."

"Arrest the entire Suo Lun family, confiscate all of Suo Lun’s property," commanded Hei Ningqi.

"Who dares..." shouted Suo Lun, ordering loudly, "All warriors move forward, anyone who dares trespass into Yin Zhou’s territory, kill without mercy!"

Immediately, several hundred Yin Zhou warriors stepped forward, blocking the main gate and drawing their blades facing off against the Imperial Guards!

The Commander of the Imperial Guards was furious. This world was utterly absurd and laughable—on the capital’s land, external warriors actually attempted to supersede the Imperial Guards.

At this moment, he was immensely grateful that Suo Lun had defeated Zhi Li. If Zhi Li remained in power, the consequences would be unimaginable; Yin Zhou would completely ride on the kingdom’s neck, domineering over, and all the citizens of the Rage Wave Kingdom would become mere slaves.
