Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 97 The Difference Between Humans and Beasts

"Caiwei! Explain this to the Prince and Princess! You saved me back then, and I married you and gave you the position of my principal wife because I wanted to repay your kindness and take care of you for the rest of my life!"

Marquis Yong'an was also moved to tears, and in no time he crawled to Liu Caiwei's feet.

The sight of those tears and snot left Qin Wu and Jiang Pingle, the couple, stunned.

This Marquis of Yong'an weighs several hundred pounds, yet he climbed so fast.

However, the couple then burst into unrestrained laughter.

That look was absolutely hilarious.

If he weren't dressed in fine clothes, he would really look like a running pig.

Liu Caiwei was left completely bewildered.

The Marquis of Yong'an used this very reason to marry her, and she regretted it for a long time, thinking she shouldn't have been so kind as to save him in the first place.

This forced her to separate from her parents and grandfather, and almost harmed her family.

"Take care of my cousin for life? There's a difference between humans and animals. My cousin needs to find someone, right? Look at you, and look at this pig. With your weight, I'm really afraid you'll roll over and crush my cousin."

After laughing for a while, Qin Wu saw Liu Caiwei looking bewildered and then spoke.

In a single sentence, the Marquis of Yong'an was reduced to the level of livestock.

The Marquis of Yong'an, who was pleading with Liu Caiwei, never expected that the Divine Martial King would say such a thing.

What does it mean to distinguish between humans and animals?

What does it mean to be crushed to death when someone rolls over on you?

Is this human talk?

"Your Highness, there is a difference between humans and animals. It's not that serious."

"After all, the Marquis of Yong'an has a figure like a pig, but he is not a pig after all."

Jiang Pingle chimed in with jokes, her words sounding as if she was helping the Marquis of Yong'an confirm that he was a human being.

But it was also a roundabout way of criticizing Marquis Yong'an.

The conversation between the couple was absolutely devastating.

Just when the couple were about to kill him and destroy his spirit.

Hundreds of imperial guards arrived outside the Yong'an Marquis's residence and surrounded the entire residence.

Qi Ye led his men directly into the Yong'an Marquis's residence and took control of everyone there.

They then began searching the entire Yong'an Marquis's residence.

The people in the main hall were unaware that their doomsday was approaching.

The reason Qin Wu kept mocking Marquis Yong'an today was because he was waiting for Qi Ye to arrive with his men.

To prevent anyone from the Yong'an Marquis's residence from escaping when he makes his move.

Since he's going to take action, he won't let anyone escape.

Marquis Yong'an was already overwhelmed with shame from the humiliation inflicted by Qin Wu and his wife.

This was the first time he had ever been so humiliated.

"The Divine Martial King..."

Enraged, Marquis Yong'an finally lost his temper, got up, and charged at Qin Wu.

That speed really doesn't look like the speed of a fat man weighing several hundred pounds.

However, he was fast, and he flew out even faster.

It can be said that it comes quickly and goes quickly.

A scream rang out, and a lump of flesh flew out of the hall.

"boom.."

With a loud crash, Marquis Yong'an fell to the ground outside the hall.

"Damn, there's a hidden weapon."

A sound rang out, followed by a kick, and the unidentified object flew back into the hall.

It crashed into the hall.

"..."

Qin Wu was speechless with exasperation upon seeing this.

He must have kicked a person away! How did it fly back? Is this the benefit of having too much meat?

Will it bounce back?

But this angle is wrong too!

Before Qin Wu could figure it out, a figure rushed in.

"Your Highness, there was a sneak attack with a hidden weapon just now. In the heat of the moment, I kicked the hidden weapon in. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Qi Ye entered the hall and immediately knelt on one knee to apologize to Qin Wu.

He knew that the hidden weapon couldn't even hurt him, so it certainly couldn't hurt Qin Wu, so he didn't ask Qin Wu if he was injured.

"..."

Qin Wu was speechless again after hearing Qi Ye's words.

He thought that the Marquis of Yong'an had bounced back, but he didn't expect that Qi Ye had mistaken him for a hidden weapon and kicked him back.

"..."

Jiang Pingle and Liu Caiwei were speechless.

Such a thing is even possible...

"Qi Ye! Why don't you take a look at what kind of hidden weapon you just kicked?"

After Jiang Pingle finished speaking, he pointed to the unconscious Marquis of Yong'an.

Qi Ye looked in the direction Jiang Pingle was pointing.

"The Yong'an Marquis's mansion is so rich that even the pigs are dressed in fine brocade robes."

Qi Ye looked at the person lying on the ground like a small mountain and said in surprise.

He also secretly marveled at how wealthy the Yong'an Marquis's mansion was.

But his words left Qin Wu and his wife, as well as Liu Caiwei, speechless.

The family members of the Marquis of Yong'an, who were kneeling in the hall, had ashen faces and their heads were almost buried in the ground.

They were genuinely ashamed.

"Qi Ye! That's the Marquis of Yong'an. He's not a pig, he just looks like one."

Qin Wu coughed twice and then said awkwardly.

He hadn't expected Qi Ye to be so reckless!

"Marquis Yong... Yong'an?"

"Your Highness, isn't the Marquis of Yong'an a fourth-rank general? How does he maintain such a physique?"

Qi Ye almost thought he had misheard, but then he took a closer look.

It's certain that it was indeed the same person.

It was the first time he had ever seen a general who looked like a mountain of flesh, and the feeling he had just experienced did not seem like that of someone who practiced martial arts.

"I don't know about that, but you can look into which army treats its soldiers so well."

"When the time comes, we'll ask His Majesty for military funding based on the treatment of this army."

Qin Wu said helplessly.

Honestly, even if all martial arts practitioners are physically strong, they shouldn't weigh several hundred pounds!

Moreover, he was covered in fat.

"Then I will certainly investigate thoroughly."

"By the way, Your Highness, these are the account books of the Marquis of Yong'an's residence."

Qi Ye said this with an air of seriousness.

After saying this, he had a pile of account books placed on the tea table next to Qin Wu.

Qin Wu looked at the thick stack of account books, picked one up at random, and started flipping through it.

The women below were shocked to see their household account books being taken out.

Especially the old lady of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion, she recognized at a glance that it was a hidden real account book that could not be made public.

"Old Madam, don't try to wink at me. No one in the entire Marquis's mansion can leave."

Qi Ye saw the old lady of the Marquis's mansion giving someone a meaningful look and interrupted her directly.

He was all too aware of the old lady's subtle actions; she was trying to get someone to ask for help.

But now that they've come, how could we let them ask for help?

"General, what crime has our Marquis's residence committed? Why are you checking our accounts?"

The old lady, being over eighty years old, was indeed a shrewd woman; she quickly regained her composure.

"What has she done? The old lady probably knows better than I do! I advise the old lady not to continue making excuses, but to await the prince's punishment."

Qi Ye sneered.

Play dumb with him? What a joke.

The old lady was speechless after Qi Ye's words.

After all, she knew very well that their Marquis's mansion's accounts couldn't withstand scrutiny.

"Ha, no wonder the Marquis of Yong'an can raise such a majestic figure, the Marquis's mansion is truly wealthy!"

Qin Wu casually flipped through a few pages and then smiled.

The Yong'an Marquis's residence may appear unassuming, but it has been quite active behind the scenes.

From what he saw, the entire Marquis's mansion contained millions of taels of silver and millions of taels of gold.

This is not even the entire Yong'an Marquis's mansion.

"Qi Ye, take your men and ransack the house!"

"By the way, take Marquis Yong'an out with you. I find him annoying."

"Your Highness, please also send a letter of divorce to Marquis Yong'an. By the way, Qi Ye, Marquis Yong'an's wife is my cousin. Go and compile a list of her dowry, so that when they confiscate our property, they don't confiscate my cousin's dowry as well."

Qin Wu gave a brief explanation.

This directly condemned the entire Yong'an Marquis's mansion.

They also openly and brazenly coveted the property of the Marquis of Yong'an.

"Your Highness, you mustn't! Without His Majesty's decree, you cannot confiscate our Yong'an Marquis's residence!"

"Yes! Your Highness, you cannot confiscate their property."

"........."

The wails echoed throughout the hall.

"I have the power to rule as regent."

Qin Wu uttered a few words coldly, and the entire hall fell silent.

Yes! King Wu of Qin is the regent, and has the power to rule as regent.

He has the authority to order the confiscation of their property and to convict them.

"Your Highness, this humble general will take care of it immediately!"

Seeing this, Qi Ye snorted coldly and left.

However, a large crowd of onlookers had gathered outside the Yong'an Marquis's residence.

They all wanted to know what the Marquis of Yong'an had done to warrant the arrival of the Divine Martial King.

Now the Imperial Guards have arrived and have completely surrounded the Yong'an Marquis's residence.

Although the Marquis of Yong'an was ranked last among all the marquisate families in Dongqin, he was still a marquisate after all.

This situation shouldn't normally occur.

But now it has happened.

Many officials also received the news and sent people to keep watch outside the Yong'an Marquis's residence.
