Chapter 999: 458: Tear Yuwen Fa apart with chariots! Whip Fang Qingyi fiercely!_3

In the royal city’s circle of nobles, Viscount Ye Jin doesn’t stand a chance at all; his talent for embezzlement is truly ****ing amazing!

Suo Lun waved his hand and said, "For the sake of your daughter, spit out all the Gold Coins, and I’ll spare your life! But whether you rot in jail or not will depend on your performance."

Frantically kowtowing, Viscount Ye Jin pleaded, "No problem, no problem, I’m willing to expose and report others, I’m willing to atone for my crimes through merit."

Suo Lun waved his hand impatiently, signaling for Viscount Ye Jin to be taken away, not willing to exchange even half a word with him.

And so, Viscount Ye Jin managed to save his dog’s life.

Some might say that Suo Lun is abusing power for personal gain, violating the dignity of the law. Someone like Ye Jin deserves to be killed ten times over, yet he managed to escape death.

Those who say this are old-fashioned.

The person who needs to be impartial and incorruptible is Bao Gong, not the benevolent Emperor Renzong, Zhao Zhen.

After all, Ye Feidie has made such great contributions that redeeming her father’s crimes is more than enough.

...

For Suo Lun, and for the political situation in the Rage Wave Kingdom, the most dangerous day had passed.

The reserve of eleven million Gold Coins was recovered, and the nearly erupted rebellion within the City Defense Army was thoroughly extinguished in its infancy.

The entire Rage Wave Kingdom was teetering on the edge of a cliff, nearly falling into an abyss; now, at last, it was pulled back to safety.

According to the ledgers of Finance Minister Suofu, Suo Lun conducted a confiscation of assets targeting the kingdom’s major corrupt figures, totaling ten on the first day.

While it caused unease among the royal elites, it was merely a ripple on the surface.

On the second day, nine more were targeted by the Forbidden Army.

On the third day, six more.

On the fourth day, the Forbidden Army did not continue the confiscations.

All the nobles of the royal city breathed a sigh of relief, hoping for a return to tranquility.

According to Suofu’s ledger, Suo Lun confiscated assets from a total of twenty-five individuals.

Throughout this process, there were sporadic resistances. But these nobles did not band together, and having lost the City Defense Army, the main rebels, their resistance failed to make a splash, easily suppressed by just two thousand members of the Forbidden Army.

As for the amount of Gold Coins confiscated, the final tally was still in progress, and Suo Lun did not yet know the exact figure.

However, Gao Yin had reported to Suo Lun that the number would far exceed expectations, enough not merely to tide over the crisis.

So, Suo Lun waited with keen interest to see how vast the yield from this confiscation would be?

...

In the dungeon, the young master of Yin Zhou, Fang Qingyi, had been starved for four entire days, with not a single person coming to visit him.

For these four days, his only sustenance was one bowl of water per day.

He had never tasted such hunger before; it was truly excruciating.

Fang Qingyi felt that at this moment, even if there were a mouse in front of him, he would devour it alive.

Driven by extreme hunger, he heard some footsteps and desperately hoped it was someone bringing food.

But to his disappointment, the person who appeared before him was Suo Lun.

"Suo Lun..." Fang Qingyi gritted his teeth and hissed, "You have offended Yin Zhou’s dignity, daring to imprison me. Soon you’ll know how severe the consequences will be. Consequences that neither your entire family nor the whole kingdom can bear. Just wait and suffer an unparalleled misfortune; your family, your wife and children will endure terrible punishment."

"Slap..." Suo Lun delivered a slap across his face.

Fang Qingyi looked at Suo Lun in disbelief—daring to strike him?

"Suo Lun, you this..."

"Slap..." Suo Lun landed another slap.

"Suo Lun..."

This time, Fang Qingyi only got two words out before Suo Lun’s slap sent him reeling back.

"Suo..."

Suo Lun, left and right, unleashed a series of slaps, leaving Fang Qingyi dazed, bleeding from his mouth and nose.

"Still able to threaten me? It seems you’re not hungry enough," sneered Suo Lun. "Then stay hungry for another three days. I’ll come back and talk to you then."

With that, Suo Lun left.

...

Meanwhile, two guests arrived at the Princess’s Residence.

A couple—a perfect match seemingly made in heaven.

The man, stunningly handsome, stood out like a graceful tree in the breeze, his noble demeanor surpassing even that of Suo Lun.

The woman’s figure was slender and graceful, capturing the essence of allure. Moreover, her features resembled those of Fang Qingzhuo but were even more exquisitely beautiful.

Not only that, but her gentle and tender appearance seemed to hide a trace of playfulness, making her an absolute beauty.

She was Fang Qingzhuo’s younger sister, Fang Qingdi.

This superbly handsome man was, of course, her husband, Ji Mengbai. He was also an adopted son of the Flame Emperor Royal Family, the former lover of Black Widow Meng Tuoluo, the one who had abandoned her at their wedding, her perfect lover.
