Thirty thousand taels of silver is absolutely an astronomical sum for ordinary people.
But for a wealthy family like the Wu family, it is simply impossible.
When Lieutenant Zhao of Jinchuan escaped, he took more than 9,000 taels of silver notes with him.
"Your Highness, Master National Preceptor, I am really unjust!"
Wu Ding knelt on the ground and cried until he burst into tears: "My Wu family has worked hard for the great prosperity for generations and never dared to take an extra penny. These 30,000 taels of silver have been accumulated by my Wu family for hundreds of years."
The family fortune that has just been accumulated!”
"Wu Ding, who are you fooling?"
Qin Zhen curled his lips and pointed at a group of girls kneeling in the yard: "If I'm not mistaken, these are all the top girls from Jinyue Pavilion and Yixiang Tower. Which one doesn't have tens of thousands of taels? Can you buy it back?"
"They were all given to me by good friends, so I couldn't shirk it. The subordinate thought that they were pitiful, so he took them into the house as servants. It can be regarded as doing some good deeds."
Wu Ding answered without changing his expression.
The money can be hidden outside, but if the girl hides it outside, how inconvenient would it be to have to go outside for every private meeting?
So although the Wu family didn't have much money, the girl they found was kneeling all over three courtyards.
Wu Ding knew he would be asked this question before he came back and had already thought of the answer.
"At this point, do you still think we are fools?"
Qin Zhen felt insulted.
"Qin Dutong, stop arguing with him and bring Wu Qinglong and the others over." Ninth Princess frowned and said.
Qin Zhen waved his hand, and Liao Yin escorted Wu Ding's sons over.
"Wu Ding, I want to ask you again, where is the money hidden?" Ninth Princess lowered her head and asked.
"Your Highness, our Wu family really only has this amount of money!" Wu Ding still refused to speak.
"Liao Yin, let's kill Wu Qinglong first."
Ninth Princess waved and said.
His expression was indifferent, not as if he was about to execute the eldest son of a centuries-old family, but as if Liao Yin was letting Liao Yin trample an ant to death.
"yes!"
Liao Yin stepped forward and grabbed Wu Ding's eldest son.
"Dad, help me!"
Wu Ding's eldest son was so frightened that his face turned pale and his fat body was shaking non-stop.
"Master, please save Long'er quickly!"
Wu Ding's wife knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "Your Highness, Long'er is still a child, please let him go!"
"If I remember correctly, he rented a building in Jinyue Pavilion last month to celebrate his twenty-eighth birthday, right? He seemed to have beaten several brothel girls to death."
The Ninth Princess sneered: "No wonder a twenty-eight-year-old child is so difficult to manage. Since you can't control it, Mrs. Wu, I will take care of it for you!"
"Your Highness, you can't do this. Even if my son is guilty, you can't torture him privately!"
Wu Ding still refused to let go at this point, but crawled over to hug Princess Ninth's legs.
But before she could reach the Ninth Princess, she was kicked away by Qin'er.
"Liao Yin, what are you waiting for?"
Ninth Princess urged impatiently.
After all, he was the eldest son of the Wu family. Liao Yin was still a little hesitant at first, but when he saw the impatience on the face of the ninth princess, he became heartbroken and raised the knife in his hand.
Along with the knife, the head of the eldest son of the Wu family fell.
Wu Ding's wife was so frightened that she rolled her eyes and immediately fainted to the ground.
Wu Ding also didn't expect that the Ninth Princess would kill someone if she said it, and her face turned pale.
Jin Feng frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
It is certainly not good for the Ninth Princess to abuse lynching like this, but in today's situation, such iron-blooded tactics are needed to frighten the powerful and wealthy families.
Moreover, every one of the men in the Wu family is a domineering master. Killing them all will not lead to injustice.
So instead of stopping him, he even made Zhang Liang and his bodyguards prepare for battle. If the rich and powerful dared to lead their servants to resist, they would immediately suppress them!
The Ninth Princess signaled Liao Yin to bring Wu Ding's second son and asked coldly: "Can we talk now?"
"Chen Wen'er, you shameless slut, you will be punished sooner or later!"
Wu Ding's eyes were red, and he didn't even call you Your Highness, but directly called the Ninth Princess by name and cursed her.
The ninth princess was not angry either, she just nodded towards Liao Yin.
After killing all his eldest sons, Liao Yin naturally would not care about his second son.
When the sword fell from his hand, Wu Ding's second son was gone.
This time, the Ninth Princess did not need to speak, Liao Yin consciously pulled the third son of the Wu family over.
Wu Ding's wife finally woke up, just in time to see her third son's head roll to her feet, and he fainted again.
"Don't kill...I say! I say!"
When Liao Yin grabbed his fourth son, Wu Ding finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He collapsed on the ground, pointed to the side door of the yard next to him, and said, "There is an ancient well in that yard, and there is a secret passage in the well..."
After Wu Ding finished speaking, Qin Zhen immediately led people into the side yard.
Sure enough, a secret passage was discovered in the ancient well in the courtyard.
The secret passage is built of bluestone and looks quite old.
After walking dozens of meters down the secret passage, I discovered a huge underground hall also made of bluestone.
After lighting the torches on the wall, Jin Feng and Ninth Princess subconsciously narrowed their eyes.
Countless gold and silver treasures were piled in the hall, which were so dazzling under the firelight that one could hardly keep his eyes open.
"Let me tell you, the Secret Service clearly saw people giving gifts to Wu Ding frequently, but didn't see him transporting them out. How could it not be possible?"
Qin Zhen came to his senses and murmured to himself: "But this is too much! I have never seen so many gold and silver jewelry in the treasury!"
The Ninth Princess squinted her eyes and glanced around. There was no surprise in her eyes, but an almost uncontrollable anger.
She had known for a long time that the Wu family must have a lot of gold and silver, but she didn't expect so much.
Indeed, as Qin Zhen said, the Dakang treasury has rarely had so much gold and silver in recent years.
"National Preceptor, please arrange for a team of bodyguards to come over and guard the well with the Red Armor Army!"
The Ninth Princess looked at Jin Feng.
After all, she hasn't really married Jin Feng yet. With an outsider here, she can't call her husband, and she no longer calls her husband, but instead calls her national master.
Jin Feng knew that the Ninth Princess was doing this to influence him subtly, so that he could slowly get used to and accept the position of National Preceptor.
He was too lazy to discuss this issue with the Ninth Princess now. He nodded and ordered Da Liu, who was accompanying him, to go out and arrange for someone to send a message to Zhang Liang.
The wealth is touching people's hearts. The money, which is more than the national treasury of Dakang, is left to the care of the Red Armor Army alone. Not to mention that the Ninth Princess is not at ease, and Jin Feng is not at ease either.
What he will do next will depend on the money he got from killing the fat pig this time.
"The Wu family not only has money, but also real estate and grain storage in other places."
The Ninth Princess said coldly: "Qin Zhen, I don't care what method your spy department uses, even if Wu Ding is cut into pieces, you must ask me for everything!"
"Yes!" Qin Zhen agreed quickly.
"National Preceptor, please dispatch a few bodyguards to cooperate with the Secret Intelligence Department, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and the Inspectorate to jointly take charge of the interrogation!"
The Ninth Princess looked at Jin Feng again.
"Okay!" Jin Feng nodded.
Only when multiple parties review each other can they supervise each other to prevent one party from being greedy.
"Seal the Wu family, and not a single dog can be let out!"
Princess Ninth walked out of the hall with a cold face: "Go to the next house!"
