Chapter 956: 444: Suo Lun’s Slaughter Command! Corpses everywhere!

With the order of Forbidden Army’s Commander Hei Ningqi,

the residence of Finance Minister Suofu instantly turned into hell.

Killing those running around, those cursing at the exits, those carrying money, those armed with weapons,

in short, anyone wishing to survive had to kneel on the ground, motionless, awaiting capture, or face indiscriminate execution.

In just a short moment, the entire residence was littered with corpses.

Over half an hour later, more than thirty people from the entire Suofu Family were captured, and more than three hundred were slain.

Finally, when everyone was being put onto the prison carts, the wailing shook the heavens.

This street was inhabited by nobles and senior officials of the kingdom, and the sight left them silent as cicadas in winter, trembling in fear within their homes.

More than an hour later, the entire Suofu Family was taken to the dungeon.

Civil servants of the Shadow Cabinet began to occupy the residence to start the confiscation.

Throughout the process, the Shadow Cabinet and the Forbidden Army supervised each other to prevent embezzlement during the confiscation.

Meanwhile, Yin Zhou’s young master Fang Qingyi coldly watched all this unfold.

After everything ended, he came before the Forbidden Army’s Commander Hei Ningqi and said coldly, "Please inform Suo Lun that he will pay a price for everything he has done today."

"Scram!" retorted Hei Ningqi coldly, "The day when I capture you by the order of the regent Duke."

"Dream on!" mocked Fang Qingyi, "Nothing but a bunch of ants!"

His lofty demeanor was identical to that of Princess Yuanyuan of Yaozhou.

Rage Wave Kingdom hadn’t become a colony of Yin Zhou yet, but he already looked upon all the people of this nation with the eyes of one who views the indigenous.

Then, Fang Qingyi turned and left.

Suo Lun’s arrest of Suofu equated to formally declaring war on Yin Zhou!

If the other side did the first day, then Fang Qingyi would do the fifteenth.

To counterattack with a fatal blow!

...

"Your Grace, Suofu’s entire family has been successfully captured," reported Hei Ningqi as he kneeled on one knee before Suo Lun.

Suo Lun looked at Hei Ningqi and saw his eyes blazing with fervor, even trembling hands.

He could somewhat understand Hei Ningqi’s emotions!

The relationship of the Hei Family with the royal Zhi Family was akin to that of the Ye JingyuFamily with the Suo Family.

Before the Zhi Family ascended to the throne, the Hei Family had already served them for generations.

More than a hundred years ago, the Hei Family had even changed their surname to Zhi, just as many of Suo Lun’s family samurai had changed their surname to Suo.

However, the contributions of the Hei Family grew larger, so they reverted to their original surname and became one of the noble families of the kingdom.

Fifty years ago, the Hei Family began to walk two paths, one literary and one martial.

Thus today, the ministerial leader of the Hei Family is the Minister of Personnel Heimu. The military leader is Hei Ningqi, the Forbidden Army’s Commander!

As a vassal of the royal household, Hei Ningqi was of course a true patriot. He had been enduring for several years, and now his indignation had finally been vindicated, naturally he was extremely excited.

For Suo Lun, who had maintained the dignity of the royal household and Rage Wave Kingdom, his admiration and fervor were naturally boundless.

Compared to Hei Ningqi, Minister of Personnel Heimu seemed somewhat overly rational.

Scholars tend to overthink.

In these years, Minister of Personnel Heimu, though not corrupted along with Zhi Li Group, had been feigning illness at home, playing it too safe.

"Good," said Suo Lun. "How is the situation with the Vault of the Kingdom?"

Hei Ningqi replied, "Deputy Commander Li Ruofei led ten thousand troops to take over the Vault of the Kingdom, there shouldn’t be any problems, and we should hear good news soon."

The headquarters of the Vault of the Kingdom was outside the suburb of Wangcheng Zidu, in a separate castle.

Suo Lun nodded slightly and said, "Let’s go, I’ll visit Suofu, this Imperial Envoy Minister of Yin Zhou."

"Please, Duke," Hei Ningqi bowed.

Suo Lun exited the palace, protected by Grand Eunuch Gao Yin and Hei Ningqi, with over three thousand elite samurais.

Suo Lun’s life had become too valuable now, so at any given moment, countless people protected him; his security detail even surpassed that of King Quo Bian.

In the dungeon of the Black Dragon Platform, Suo Lun once again saw the imprisoned Finance Minister Suofu.

At this moment, Suofu, no longer possessing the dashing appearance of a middle-aged handsome man, was missing his entire right hand, trembling all over, but his eyes were wildly defiant.

Upon seeing Suo Lun, he immediately roared, "Suo Lun, you will regret this, you will certainly regret it! My milk brother Great Priest Balon will come to save me, the Master of Yin Zhou will come to save me. Disaster is imminent for you, disaster is upon you!"

Suo Lun asked, "Hei Ningqi, what’s the result of the Suofu residence confiscation?"

Hei Ningqi reported, "Your Grace, although the confiscation isn’t finished. From what we see so far, the results might be insignificant, as most of Suofu’s money isn’t at home, maybe at the Vault of the Kingdom."

The Vault of the Kingdom had already been seized by Deputy Commander Li Ruofei, leading ten thousand troops of the Forbidden Army.

Suo Lun approached Suofu and said, "Lord Suofu, the royal treasury is now short of over seven million Gold Coins. And you have embezzled over ten million Gold Coins, which I intend to recover. When you represented Yin Zhou to corrupt and bribe the kingdom’s elites, there must be a ledger, right? Can you hand it to me, so I can use it as a basis for confiscation and to recover the funds!"

"Hahaha..." laughed Suofu, "You won’t be able to recover it because the money has all turned into immovable assets, large tracts of land, large estates, large mines. And you expect me to hand over something? Dream on!"
