Chapter 833 Wu Sansi’s Doom is Not Far Away

Zhu Can looked at the ministers Wu Sansi and Lin Yongzhong with disbelief.

He really couldn't imagine what method Wu Sansi used to make Lin Yongzhong so devoted to him in just over a month.

You know, even if Wu Sansi was the emperor, as long as he lost, he would only leave a bad reputation in history.

At this critical moment when Wu Sansi is powerless to save the situation, why are you, Lin Yongzhong, still following Wu Sansi wholeheartedly?

"Are you sick?" Zhu Can blurted out.

Lin Yongzhong turned to Wu Sansi and bowed, "I beg your majesty to make your decision."

Wu Sansi said "hmm", and waved his hand with a rare sense of relief.

"Kill them all and confiscate their homes. Have Wu Youde lead the new army and wait. I will use the food and fodder from these aristocratic families to supply the armies of Li Xiaoyi and Zhao Dacheng."

Zhu Can's eyes were bloodshot.

"Mango think twice, how dare you!"

Wu Sansi said expressionlessly, "If I dare to rebel, what else would I not dare to do?"

A large number of soldiers, led by Wu Fuhai, entered the Zhu family's mansion and began to massacre.

All the family patriarchs present could not escape. They were recorded one by one, and after the Zhu family was slaughtered, it would be their turn.

Wu Sansi turned around silently, and placed his five bony fingers on Lin Yongzhong's arm, and then naturally pulled Lin Yongzhong's arm.

Lin Yongzhong was stunned for a moment, turned around, and followed Wu Sansi out.

Screams came one after another from behind, and there was an endless stream of cursing at Wu Sansi and Lin Yongzhong. Wu Sansi, who was about to leave Zhu's house, burst into laughter, and then pulled Lin Yongzhong out of Zhu's house.

Walking on the street guarded by soldiers, Wu Sansi held his head high and his expression was calm.

After walking a few dozen steps, Wu Sansi suddenly said:

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

Lin Yongzhong's expression became unnatural for a moment.

Then it was immediately replaced by shock.

He pretended to be in a hurry and said:

"This is what I should do, Your Majesty. As I said, I am loyal to my king."

"I am only doing my duty. I do not deserve your Majesty's thanks."

Wu Sansi was very pleased. He turned his head to look at Lin Yongzhong and said:

"I never thought you would be so loyal to me."

"Yongzhong, if you don't let me down, I will never let you down either. You will always be the number one person under me, and that will never change."

Lin Yongzhong was filled with gratitude and said quickly, "Your Majesty..."

Foolish Wu Sansi: "Yongzhong..."

The two walked towards the palace hand in hand.

After tonight, the army under the pseudo-Wu regime will no longer have to worry about food issues.

Wu Sansi is in a good mood.

Tonight he witnessed the loyalty of his favorite minister and solved the biggest trouble of the current period. He hummed brothel tunes and began to fantasize about the wonderful life in the future.

Lin Yongzhong sent Wu Sansi back to the palace, and under the protection of dozens of people, he returned to the mansion given to him by Wu Sansi.

The servants had already fallen asleep, so he returned alone and came to the main hall under the light of lanterns.

"Master Lin."

Wulezhi stood up and bowed to Lin Yongzhong.

"General, please take a seat," Lin Yongzhong said. "Everything has been completed. Almost all the noble families in Shanyin County have been wiped out tonight."

"That's great! If the prince knew this news, he would be very happy."

The patriarchs of dozens of families gathered at the Zhu family. This top-secret information was of course told to Lin Yongzhong by Wulezhi, the stealth master.

In order to clear some obstacles for Li Cunxi's plan, Lin Yongzhong immediately went to find Wu Sansi and took this opportunity to eliminate dozens of aristocratic families.

Although this move would allow Wu Sansi's army to obtain food and supplies, it also indirectly weakened the forces around Wu Sansi.

Presumably, before tomorrow morning, Wu Sansi will know how many private soldiers and food supplies these aristocratic families have.

After dealing with these private soldiers, Wu Sansi was left with only the Imperial Guards.

As for the food and fodder being escorted to Li Xiaoyi and Zhao Dacheng, it was naturally Wulezhi who led his troops to intercept them and wait for an opportunity to seize the food and fodder.

"Wu Sansi's end is not far away. It's time to pass the news to Cunxi."

Lin Yongzhong stroked the short beard on his chin, feeling very proud.

Who could have imagined that Wu Sansi would let him be the Prime Minister of the Great Wu, and who would have thought that this Prime Minister of the Great Wu was actually Xue Qinglin.

"I'll have Miha deliver the message to the prince."

Ulezhi turned around and went out, and found his deputy general Miha in the corner of the yard.

Soon, Miha flew out and disappeared into the night.

That night, Wu Sansi woke up from his sleep. When Wu Fuhai learned that he had woken up, he came to report.

"Your Majesty, tonight was a river of blood. Dozens of large families were annihilated. Wu Youde led his men to count the food and treasures of these people. It was truly astonishing."

"The Zhu family's treasure alone, converted into silver, would be worth at least eight million taels. Even the food and fodder alone would be enough to feed a fifty-thousand-man army for half a year."

"Although the remaining families haven't yet fully calculated their resources, if all goes as expected, they will be able to raise at least 20 million taels of silver and enough food and fodder for a 50,000-man army for a year and a half."

Wu Sansi drank the tranquilizing medicine, listened to Wu Fuhai's report, and shook his head silently.

"The aristocratic families are truly the parasites of the country."

"They are just a large family in Yuezhou, yet they already have so much wealth. If we confiscate the property of others, their wealth will surely be no less than that of these parasites."

The fire in his eyes had not yet died down, and he was ready to deal with the aristocratic families in other states one by one.

At this moment, he suddenly looked up and remembered Lin Yongzhong who had gone home to rest.

"Come, go and call the Prime Minister..."

He paused, and swallowed the words "Call her to the palace" that he wanted to say.

"It's so late, Prime Minister...shouldn't you rest?"

"Why disturb the Prime Minister's sleep?"

"Even if we really want to wipe out these aristocratic families, there's no need to rush. The Prime Minister is very tired today."

Wu Sansi felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of the excitement in Lin Yongzhong's eyes and the fatigue that could not be concealed on his face when they parted.

The prime minister he chose for the Great Wu was truly loyal to him. He was so tired these past two days, and he would feel bad if he couldn't get a good night's sleep.

A eunuch came over and asked, "Your Majesty, would you like to summon the Prime Minister to the palace to see you?"

"No need." Wu Sansi waved his hand. "The Prime Minister is very busy and exhausted today. He should rest well. Tomorrow, I will take a few old ginsengs from the palace and send them to the Prime Minister for nourishment."

Lin Yongzhong's image appeared in his mind.

This prime minister was good in every way except for one thing: Lin Yongzhong's health was too weak.

Those who carry firewood for the Great Wu must not be allowed to freeze to death in the wind and snow!

"Send some palace maids to the Prime Minister to warm his bed so he can have a warm sleep when he returns home at night."
