Chapter 979: 452: Found a massive amount of Gold Coins! Wild Suo Lun!

Yesterday, Priest Yan Ping returned to the Zhi Du Sanctuary to report.

Seeing Yan Zhou’s young master Fang Qingyi’s expectant gaze, he immediately shook his head.

"Zhen Yan Princess is an opponent even tougher than Suo Lun," Yan Ping said. "Her vision, breadth of mind, and wisdom are not inferior to Suo Lun, but she is more rational and calm. Don’t pin your hopes on her."

Fang Qingyi responded incredulously, "Would she really just watch Suo Lun confiscate the property of all the nobles in the Royal City? Would she allow the entire Rage Wave Kingdom to be utterly destroyed?"

Yan Ping nodded and said, "The worst scenario she anticipated is more pessimistic than we can imagine. She believes that she and Suo Lun will become public enemies, and the entire Rage Wave Kingdom will plunge into chaos, with warlords carving up territories."

Fang Qingyi remarked, "Even so, she still refuses to compromise?"

Yan Ping affirmed, "Yes, she refuses to compromise."

Fang Qingyi questioned, "Does she love Suo Lun that much? To let the entire kingdom fall with him?"

Yan Ping replied, "Of course not. She plans to abandon the whole territory of the kingdom and ascend the throne in Tianshui City. Then, she intends to start over, spending three to five years to reconquer the whole Rage Wave Kingdom—a completely cleansed Rage Wave Kingdom."

Fang Qingyi exclaimed in horror, "In that case, it would mean changing the dynasty."

Yan Ping explained, "It’s half-changing the dynasty. The royal lineage remains the same, but the entire ruling class will be completely overhauled."

Fang Qingyi was utterly shocked and speechless!

If Zhi Yan were switched with someone else, Fang Qingyi would have thought these were merely grand delusions.

However, facing such a couple, even if the kingdom fell into chaos and warlords divided it up, giving them three to five years, they could really reconquer the entire Rage Wave Kingdom.

The possibility of this happening is over seventy percent!

Considering someone else, Fang Qingyi would argue that Suo Lun definitely intends to usurp the throne, while Zhi Yan would vanish once her purpose was served.

But now Zhen Yan Princess has proven with facts that she absolutely won’t disappear once her purpose is served; she’s not willing to abandon Suo Lun even in today’s desperate situation, so what else could make her abandon him?

As for Suo Lun’s character.

"Whoever dares touch my family, I shall wipe out their entire clan." Preferably facing the risk of his entire foundation being destroyed than letting his sister enter an arranged marriage.

And you say he’s plotting to usurp the throne, even the throne of his own son?"

It’s an unthinkable idea.

Fang Qingyi sighed deeply: "Zhi Yan, this woman, is far harder to deal with than her father."

Then, everyone present fell silent.

Yan Ping then said, "Young Master Fang, Suo Lun and Zhen Yan Princess have also sent you a gift."

He handed a box to Yan Zhou’s young master, Fang Qingyi.

Fang Qingyi took it and immediately smelled a stench of blood. When he opened it,

"Shh..."

A complete human skin fell out.

Instantly, Fang Qingyi stumbled back half a step, then his whole body was horror-stricken and his scalp tingled!

This human skin belonged to his former teacher, the direct confidant in Yan Zhou and the head Shopkeeper of the King City Gold Shop, Fang Zeming!

An infernal rage flared up!

"Suo Lun has gone too far, daring to skin a core confidant from my Yan Zhou!" Fang Qingyi roared. "These mere citizens from the Human Kingdom dared to disrespect Yan Zhou like this? Trample our dignity? One day, I will tear him to pieces!"

Luo Ge narrowed his eyes and said, "He’s prepared to destroy everything, so why would he care about the dignity of your Yan Zhou?"

Yes, all the cards have been played, even the trump cards have been thrown out.

What can Yan Zhou do now? Will they truly deploy the Sanctuary Legion to annihilate Suo Lun?

Starting a war between the Dragon Temple and the secular royal authority? Don’t be ridiculous!

...

"The situation is dire, Suo Lun has made up his mind. He will act soon," Luo Ge remarked. "We need to figure out a response; as soon as day breaks tomorrow, he will send the Forbidden Army to confiscate everything from the nobility of the entire Royal City."

Yan Zhou’s young master Fang Qingyi declared, "We must inform these nobles to move their wealth and to gather their forces to resist Suo Lun."

Luo Ge inquired, "Approximately how much Gold Coin might the nobility in the entire Royal City have stored in their homes?"

"Over ten million," replied Yan Zhou’s young master Fang Qingyi. "These nobles have always preferred storing their gold and silver in their own basements because they fundamentally trust no one, including King City Gold Shop. They only deposit their gold and silver there when a transaction requires it."

Ge Li remarked, "They’re not wrong in thinking that, the King City Gold Shop indeed isn’t reliable, over ten million Gold Coins in reserves would have vanished into thin air."

Fang Qingyi laughed lightly, "Heh."

Yan Ping asked, "The total Gold Coin reserves in the entire King City Gold Shop are around fifteen million, with four million diverted by Zhi Li, leaving eleven million remaining. Whose money is all this?"

Fang Qingyi explained, "Two tenths belong to the nobility, one tenth is the working capital of the Ministry of Finance, borrowed from Hidden Yuan Association. The remaining seven tenths are all savings from the ordinary populace, only they would care about that little storage interest."

This statement shocked everyone present.

That means out of the fifteen million Gold Coins, ten million are the savings of ordinary citizens. The Rage Wave Kingdom does a good job of keeping wealth among its people.

Fang Qingyi added, "I was also surprised when I got the data. Guess which group has the highest percentage of the over ten million Gold Coins stored in the entire King City Gold Shop?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Fang Qingyi revealed, "The courtesans, the courtesans of the entire Rage Wave Kingdom, have more than two hundred thirty million Gold Coins stored in the King City Gold Shop; it really is unimaginable."
