Chapter 1047: She ruined my wife!

Wang Yu turned to look at the opening of the trap door, she could already hear the sound of screams as well as her Mother's shouts as she tried to put the people who barged inside their house on hold. With her heart on the verge of bursting, Wang Yu stepped out of the storehouse and then out of the courtyard where she saw Magistrate Li standing in the middle of their manor.

Her mother and the rest of the family were on their knees causing Wang Yu'S heart to sweat nervously but she still looked at Li Yan and asked, " Magistrate Li, what is the matter? Why is my family on the ground like this? What happened? We are good citizens of this country and we have not done anything illegal."

At this moment, Li Yan did not care about anything. After she found out that it was Wang Yu who was sending the assassins after the second princess, she was so angry and furious that she wanted to kill this woman and drink her blood. For the sake of some meagre benefits, this woman sold out their country as well as her subordinates!

She looked at Wang Yu and then stated in a cold voice, " Official Wang, you are under arrest for cutting out rescue funds of the commoners as well as using illegal means to harm someone from the royal family. You have no right to struggle! Arrest her!" She ordered her people, " And search the place thoroughly."

When Wang Yu saw that Li Yan had come prepared she could not help but panic as she said, " Li Yan, how can you arrest me? I am a fifth-ranking official. You need to submit a report before arresting me like this! I am your senior even if you don't agree to it."

However, no one cared about her agitated stance. Li Yan very calmly looked at Wang Yu and then stated, " Everyone is equal in the eyes of the law. You might be a fifth-ranking official but because of your greed, many commoners have lost their lives. Do you think that everyone will be covered up just because you have hidden the truth? Remember, the truth can never be hidden.

Sooner or later it will prevail! Take her away!"

How can Wang Yu allow herself to be taken away? She tried her best to resist as she shouted, " You cannot! You cannot arrest me! I am a fifth-ranking official! I have connections, let me talk to them!"

However no matter how much Wang Yu screamed no one listened to her, behind her, Ye Cheng and the rest of the mer concubines were crying until they were out of breath. With their wife arrested what will happen to them?

Even Old Madam Wang was taken away!

Ye Cheng rushed towards Li Yan and hugged her thigh before saying, " Please, I beg you. Let my wife go… she is the only pillar of our house. If she goes to Yamen, how will we survive? What are we going to do?"

" You want me to show you mercy?" Li Yan sneered as she coldly pulled her leg away from the mer who was hugging her thigh. " When so many commoners died and so many mers lost their bed winners, did you all not eat and sleep in your comfortable house? Now that you have to suffer like them, you want me to show you mercy? You must be dreaming!"

Li Yan did not have an ounce of sympathy towards the mers of the Wang family as she had heard that they were a ruthless bunch as well. She calmly glanced at them and said, " The properties of the Wang family will be taken by the government. As they have caused a lot of damage to many commoners, they have to pay for their sufferings."

When Ye Cheng heard that even the properties would be snatched away, he was so shocked that he swooned if not for his mer sons who helped him stand on his feet, he would have fallen on the ground.

Seeing that there was no turning back from this matter, he looked at Li Yan and asked with a ruthless glint, " Was it Wang Shi? Was it that daughter of the bastard who snitched on her aunt?"

At this moment, he hated Wang Shi even more than he did in the past.

A cold smile appeared on Li Yan's face, she did not answer Ye Cheng and simply smiled at him. The matter that took place at the Wang family last night was too weird even if they were to sit down and brainstorm for the rest of the week, no one would be able to link this matter to Yu Dong. Even Li Yan couldn't find out how Yu Dong stole the money from the Wang family and brought it all to her house.

Though there were fifteen thousand golden taels missing, compared to the hundred and thousand of gold taels, they were nothing. Thus, Li Yan was willing to ignore it. What was more she knew that those gold taels were going to come back in her hand as Yu Dong and hinted that she wanted to buy the Wang family's properties.

Though they wouldn't cost fifteen thousand gold coins, half of it would still be recovered by her.

Since Yu Dong had helped her like this, how could Li Yan betray her? It was only right for Wang Shi to take the blame. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

" Take them away!" Li Yan did not look at Ye Cheng anymore and left immediately along with her subordinates.

When Ye Cheng saw that Li Yan did not reply, he was convinced that it was Wang Shi who snitched. That woman! She must have blabbered because she had to suffer a little and given how arrogant Wang Shi was, Ye Cheng did not doubt the matter even the smallest bit!

He turned to look at Wang Shi's father and then slapped him tightly, " Bastard! Look at the b*tch that you have given birth to! She ruined my wife! I will kill you."
