Chapter 144: Princes little quilt 19 (part 2 of 4)

Because his main goal had never been the t.i.tle of the Emperor, but to be a powerful minister.

There were really too many restrictions as an Emperor, like the need for pretentious righteousness, to check and balance on all sides, in addition to the need to draft imperial concubines. Theres also the need to abide by the ancestral system, and even the financial rights were with restrictions. The so-called Emperors have long arms, and the state treasury is the private money of the Emperor. But in spite of that, the Emperor wasnt allowed to move this private money at all, and even needed to worry about the deficit of the countrys state treasury.

Since Yuwen Yin likes Shen Tong, it would be impossible for him to marry someone else, not to mention drafting for an imperial concubine. He only wants to possess more money and rights, in order to be able to present the best things in the world to his sweetheart, and have as much free period as possible to be by his sweethearts side.

The reason he dealt with the Jiang family was really not only due to that resentment he has with Qi w.a.n.gfei, but in order to completely take over the source of income and rights of the Jiang and w.a.n.g families. The repute of being benevolent and kind that Emperor Qing values were completely worthless from Yuwen Yins perspective. He wants to live with a repute that is revered and feared by others. So that everyone will fear and dare not have the slightest hint of disrespect to him, as well as to avoid the provocation from certain people who lacked eyes.

In fact, Yuwen Yins ruthless repute has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people since the first day of the trial.

After having received the Emperors decree to take over the case, Yuwen Yin led the Ministry of Justices officers and soldiers to completely surround Qi w.a.n.gs mansion in the name of case investigation and guardians.h.i.+p that very night. Qi w.a.n.g was basically his biological father, but he didnt leave the slightest trace of sentiment nor face. This thunderous approach left everyone bereft of speech.

Having set foot once again in Qi w.a.n.gs mansion after so many years, and even in this manner, didnt stir any sorrowful or any other superfluous emotions in Yuwen Yins heart. He merely strode over into the front hall without any expression, then ordered the officers and soldiers behind him to go in and search.

Qi w.a.n.g naturally refused to yield to this vehemently. He lividly stood before Yuwen Yin to block him, with an att.i.tude like they needed to tread over him first before they could search the mansion: How dare you!! How could the dignified Qi w.a.n.g mansion be searched just because you ordered to search!

He looked into Yuwen Yins eyes with deep hatred and deeply veiled fear. But Yuwen Yin only looked at him like he was looking at a buffoon performing antics. Then, as Qi w.a.n.g was still attempting to flagrantly obstruct him, the other raised his hand, then just like flicking off some insignificant dust, pushed him aside without any mercy.

Qi w.a.n.g completely didnt expect that Yuwen Yin would actually push him. The difference in strength between him and Yuwen Yin was so great, added on to the fact that he was momentarily caught of guard, had immediately lead to him in staggering several steps back. He anxiously flailed his hand in the air, in an attempt to grab onto something to stabilize himself. But this was all for naught, as he completely lost his balance and ruthlessly fell on the ground with his b.u.t.tocks.

The place he fell happened to have a piece of protruding brick. Hence, Qi w.a.n.g immediately felt like his b.u.t.tocks was split in half, along with the feeling of excruciating pain. More importantly, he, a dignified w.a.n.gye, actually lost such a

big face*

in full view!!

*to be greatly embarra.s.sed

His complexion instantly became so ugly, that the veins on his forehead became apparent. The muscles on his face also twitched, just like a mortified and aged beast.

Yuwen Yin, you actually dared to treat

Father*

like this!

*respectful address

The paralyzed Qi w.a.n.g on the ground had yet to speak, when Yuwen Zhengyang unexpectedly strode forward at this moment: Dont forget that Father is still your biological father! He then furiously criticized Yuwen Yin unscrupulously: As a b.a.s.t.a.r.d, to actually raised your hand against Father, is simply very vicious, and is worst than a beast!

Yuwen Yin has already stepped on a status that was higher than Qi w.a.n.g, yet Yuwen Zhengyang still regarded him as that b.a.s.t.a.r.d to insult him, with words which he believed were righteous and reasonable. But was unaware, that the expressions of not only the imperial guards, who were Yuwen Yins subordinates, but even the Ministry of Justices officers and soldiers had changed.

Only after having finished uttering foul language, did Yuwen Zhengyang remember to help Qi w.a.n.g up the floor, before asking with a filial and anxious expression: Father, how are you? Are you alright?

w.a.n.g Qi has been accustomed to a life like a prince. So to fall like this was completely unacceptable to him. The eyes glaring at Yuwen Yin were so wide as if it was about to pop out, that he couldnt wait to throw himself at Yuwen Yin and tear him to shreds. His hand pointing at Yuwen Yin trembled slightly due to intense emotions, as he ungainly uttered: You unfilial son! I should have choked you to death the moment you were born!!

Qi w.a.n.g is really getting old, for his memory to have actually regressed to this extent, Not only did Yuwen Yins expression remained unchanged, but his lips, on the contrary, had quirked, As early as five years ago, Qi w.a.n.g had already clearly stated that he had severed his relations.h.i.+p with me. So where did this unfilial son come out from?

Oh, thats right. There really is an unfilial son beside you. While saying this, Yuwen Yin turned to Yuwen Zhengyang, and somewhat indifferently said: Upon seeing this w.a.n.g, not only was there no salutation, but you even insulted this w.a.n.g. To have committed the following offenses, in addition to the lack of respect to superiors. Come! Take him down, flog him 15 times for his offenses.

The moment he uttered this, Chen Wu impatiently led the imperial guards out the line, and firmly clamped down both of Yuwen Zhengyangs hands without delay. Before Yuwen Zhengyang could react, he was already dragged to no less than two steps. He immediately began to madly struggle while loudly shouting: Let go of me, otherwise Ill cut the wretched head of you servants!! I am a n.o.ble son! How dare you manhandle me!

In spite of this, he was forced to lie on a bench in front the main hall in the next second. He then struggled even more madly, and threw himself at Yuwen Yin after having actually managed to struggle free from Chen Wus grasp.

Yuwen Yin, you used poison to frame my mother back then, then created false accusations against my uncle, yet still refuse to let me slip by now. I want to kill you, you vicious despicable b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

Its said that a corned dog would still be capable of jumping over a wall. Yuwen Zhengyangs sudden burst of strength was really strong. He was able to directly rush several steps forward, and was instantly just a single step away from Yuwen Yin. But was once again restrained by Chen Wu at this moment. When he looked up, he saw his embarra.s.sing appearance at close range being reflected in Yuwen Yins indifferent eyes. Those deep dark and extremely chilly eyes were full of contempt and disdain, as if he had never placed him in his eyes.

Yuwen Yin truly didnt place him in his eyes. He then turned around the next moment, and no longer spared him another glance. He then waved his hands to the officers and soldiers following behind him, and uttered a single word: Search!
