Chapter 919: Chapter 919 Too Disappointing_1 Chapter 919: Chapter 919 Too Disappointing_1 The Yang Family had their hands full dealing with the Aristocratic Families, yet Yang Wang actually engaged in internal strife.
And he even set his sights on gunpowder.
Gunpowder, other than himself and Emperor Yong’an, no one was allowed to meddle with.
Those who violated this, could absolutely not be spared.
As the ruler of this Mount Jiang, although he had always insisted on implementing the “Daqi Laws,” his own Yang Family still had privileges.
As long as it wasn’t excessive, he’d turn a blind eye, pretending to be unaware.
Yang Wang, as the Minister of Revenue, was in charge of the entirety of Daqi’s finances. He tolerated the embezzlement and skimming off the top.
He also tolerated the oppression of innocent civilians.
But making a move against Yang Hao and stealing gunpowder, he could not tolerate either of these two offenses.
Just now, he’d been giving Yang Wang a chance.
But Yang Wang firstly refused to admit his mistake; after being pointed out, he behaved like this wretched creature.
Disappointment, such a disappointment to him.
Qiao Xiaomai, Tong Sanlang, and Tong Tiehu stood aside, each of them wishing they could shrink their heads into the ground.
Such Royal family secrets, they truly wished to know nothing of it.
Although they all felt secretly thrilled by the prospect of Yang Wenxiao dealing with Yang Wang, they didn’t want to be involved in the process at all!
Why didn’t he just send them all away?
The less they knew, the safer it was, after all!
And Yang Wang, who was paralyzed on the ground, only now began to regain his senses from the immense fear, and hastily begged for mercy, “Grandpa Emperor, Grandpa Emperor, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I beg you, forgive me this once…”
He knelt and crawled toward the heated kang, his face smeared with tears.
Yang Wenxiao looked at him, the expression of pity on his face deepening. Raising such a wastrel was truly a disgrace.
“Tong Sanlang, knock him out,” he said as he closed his eyes, no longer willing to look at Yang Wang.
Upon hearing this, Tong Sanlang respectfully acknowledged the order, his body swift as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind Yang Wang and struck the back of his neck.
Yang Wang had no chance to resist. His vision went dark, and he immediately fainted.
“Gai Ming, take him back to the Academy and put him under house arrest,” Yang Wenxiao ordered.
The head of the Academy hurriedly acknowledged, then he opened the door and called in four guards to carry Yang Wang out.
He got into a carriage and returned to town with Yang Wang.
In Fan Linong’s room, Yang Wenxiao leaned against the pillow behind him, his eyes closed, with an expression of weariness on his face.
Seeing this, Yang Hao spoke up, “Grandpa Emperor, why don’t you rest for a while?”
The journey had been hard, and after the interrogation of Yang Wang, Yang Wenxiao’s age was truly showing its toll.
On hearing this, Yang Wenxiao, still with his eyes closed, simply replied, “No need.”
“It won’t hurt to wait a bit longer, let someone prepare a room for you?” Yang Hao persisted.
“That’ll do,” Yang Wenxiao changed his mind.
Yang Hao looked towards Qiao Xiaomai, “Miss Qiao, I hear your family has prepared a Guest House?”
“Yes, yes, I’ll lead people to tidy it up right now.” The Guest House was currently occupied by the dozens of guards Yang Wenxiao had sent over before, but now that Yang Wenxiao had arrived, naturally the place had to be vacated. Those guards could squeeze in together for accommodation.
At her words, Yang Hao nodded, “Okay, I’ll go with you.”
With that, he stood up from the kang.
As he moved, Gao Lian quickly followed.
Once the three of them had left the room, only Tong Sanlang, Tong Tiehu, and Yang Wenxiao remained.
With Yang Wenxiao saying nothing, Tong Sanlang and Tong Tiehu, grandfather and grandson alike, also remained silent, and quietness fell over the room.
Yang Wenxiao sat with his eyes closed as if asleep. Only after a good quarter of an hour did he lift his hand to rub his brow and speak, “Gu Sheng, the plan arranged by your mother, neither you nor your brother were aware of it, right?”
[Yang Wang won’t get off easily]
