Chapter 183: The Royal Familys Doomsday (Part 1)

  This world's fastest thing is probably time. The 15th of February in the third year of the Republic was destined to be a day that would shock China and the world. Just after the Lantern Festival, the red lanterns at Prince Gong's mansion had not yet been taken down, swaying back and forth in the cold wind like ghostly flags summoning souls.

  "Zai Zhen, do you think that the Su Wang Ye and the Japanese are doing this Manchu movement can succeed?" The speaker was none other than Qing Xiang Wang Yi Xu, who had been accused by the younger generation of the Manchu royal family as a "family traitor". Although he was greedy for wealth, his concern for politics was very deep.

  However, his son Zai Zhen's mind seems to be elsewhere. While his father is talking, he loves to listen but doesn't respond, guessing that his thoughts have long since wandered off to the body of some woman in a brothel. This father and son pair, one greedy for wealth and the other lustful, are indeed cut from the same cloth.

  "Zai Zhen, you're spacing out again." Familiar with her own son's nature, the originally sallow and ugly old face became even more unsightly, but she could only speak with a bitter tone: "You are the prince of the Wang Fu, in the future you will inherit this royal title. In all things, use your brain a bit more. This whole family will sooner or later rely on you."

  "Come on, Ama, it's been a long time since we've had any dealings with those scoundrels. What business do we have with them now? We're set for life with our savings in the British bank. Why bother ourselves with their bloody affairs and follow the likes of Su Wang and his gang? Even if they are relatives, who among them still looks up to you as a respected elder?"

  The wicked have their own wickedness to contend with, and the great Qing dynasty is being turned upside down by this son of a bitch. He's so angry that he almost used his cane to hit this ungrateful son, but thinking about his old age and the fact that he still has to rely on this beast in the future, he can only endure and say: "Don't let you go and stir up trouble with them, we have money, quietly take out some money to support, it's still possible. Even if we fail, our family can hide in the concession area and won't be hurt; but what if we succeed? Won't this nominal Qingxin Wangfu become a real one?"

  He thought for a moment with his head tilted, somewhat similar to Jin San's in the future, and said: "What you said is also true, I'll go find Zai Tao and others tomorrow to drink and explore the situation."

  Yi nodded in satisfaction: "There's another thing I've been thinking about for a long time, our family can't stay in this old Beijing for too long. Don't look at Old Yuan jumping around happily now, but who knows when he'll fall and our royal family will lose its protection? I'm old and nothing will happen to me, but you're different, after some days, you should take some people to Tianjin, where the foreigners are, it's safer there, don't worry about any turmoil. What do you think?"

  Zai Zhen stood up with some impatience and said: "It's getting late, let's just do it your way, Ama. I'm going to rest."

  The steward of the Wang's mansion rushed in, flustered and anxious, saying: "Something has happened to Master Wang and Master Beile. A large group of officials and soldiers from the Jingqi Military and Political Law Enforcement Agency have arrived outside, but I don't know what this is about."

  Zai Zhen immediately turned his head nervously to look at his Ama, but found that Yi Xie was also terrified and muttered to himself: "What does Yuan Xiang Cheng want to do? What does he want to do?"

  When Wang Erxiao and his father rushed to the front yard, the middle gate of the Wang Mansion had already been opened. A large group of soldiers carrying torches and steel guns charged in one after another. The guards at the Wang Mansion had long lost their prestige from the early Qing dynasty. Even with the oldest flintlock guns, they were no match for the soldiers and could only resist with their waist knives. Seeing the officials, they lost all will to fight and were tied up, gagged, and stuffed into the gatehouse, wailing and shouting in disorder.

  Yi Xie was shocked in his heart, Yuan Shikai this bastard is going to take action against himself? He's not afraid of breaking the rules like this. You know that for a long time, he was Yuan Shikai's backing, in other words, without him, the current Prince Qing who served as the Premier and Minister of War, there would be no Yuan Shikai today. Ah, he must have his sights set on taking over his household! This white-eyed wolf won't be short of money or crazy, will he? If he really takes over, the messy things that follow will be enough to make him drink a pot of it.

  With this thought, Prince Yi Xie immediately calmed down a lot. He looked very calmly at the several men in military uniforms who were walking in with big strides. After taking a closer look, he didn't recognize any of them, but etiquette couldn't be lost. Yi Xie immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Several military officers are unfamiliar, I don't know what guidance you have come to this prince's mansion at such a late hour?"

  The one walking at the front was none other than Wang Ya-qiao, wearing a military uniform with epaulets and a badge of the Military Police Department. He glanced at the emaciated face of Prince Qing and felt an inexplicable wave of disgust in his heart. A great ancient nation with a history of 5,000 years actually allowed such a person to rule over it - no wonder there had been so much suffering. He let out a cold snort, his eyes fixed on the eastern pearl on Yi-xin's hat: "By order, search and arrest the wanted criminals of the Zongshang Party."

  "Where is the unclear road? This is just an excuse. Suddenly, I have a temper and coldly say: 'Joke, what do you want to commit here? Who are you under? Quickly exit, otherwise tomorrow we will go to President Yuan's place to reason clearly, or else you will lose face.'"

  Originally thought to rely on Yuan Shikai's big brand to fool people, but unexpectedly the other party doesn't seem to buy it: "I'm from the Beijing Military Government Law Enforcement Agency, my superior is Lei Zhengchun, Director of the Thunder Agency. I just arrived at this bird law enforcement agency and don't care what kind of prince you are. If I say there's a major crime, then there must be a major crime. Don't talk nonsense."

  Ruijin Chunyi was aware that he was a native of Anhui, Suzhou. After listening to the officer's Anhui accent, it seemed that he had followed him for many years as a fellow townsman. Except for being scolded by Empress Dowager and young members of the royal family, no one else had ever been so rude to him. At this moment, all his composure disappeared. Ruijin only felt hot blood rushing up, his forehead burning with heat, his whole body trembling, his shaking fingers pointing at Wang Yaqiao's face: "You are a rebellious and unreasonable boy, if it were earlier..."

  As he was speaking, Yi Wu suddenly felt a lump in his throat and unexpectedly spat out a mouthful of blood.

  "Ah Ma Ah Ma", even Zhen Bei Le was shocked and hastily went to support his father who spat out blood.

  Wang Ya Qiao coldly looked at the unconscious Yi Xie and said in a low voice, "You think you can just die like this? Not even entering the door, I'll have you searched. Dare to make a loud noise and use a dagger to challenge me."

  So many people rushed into the backyard, and the women were naturally terrified. However, as several slaves were killed, the women immediately covered their mouths and obediently followed orders to the front yard.

  Zai Zhen was muttering to himself, resentful and dissatisfied, planning to find someone to settle the score tomorrow. However, he was suddenly grabbed from behind by Wang Ya Qiao and lifted up with great force before being thrown to the ground.

  Still reeling from the shock, he suddenly remembered tonight's events and suspiciously asked: "You're definitely not Yuan Gongbao's people, what are you?"

  Wang Ya-qiao looked at those bound and gagged women and children, his heart hardened as he said: "The person who wants to ask you a question"

  "What did you say?"

  "Money or life?" Wang Yaqiao asked with a cold and evil face.

  Zai Zhen immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Today, he had encountered a calamity. What to do? Where were the patrolling police officers who usually lingered around the entrance of the Wang Manor on ordinary days? With such a big commotion inside the manor, why didn't they come in to take a look?

  Wang Ya Qiao, following the natural way, sneered coldly: "Brother is doing a business that requires brains, maybe you'll have to apologize to these noble lords. Come on, people, after digging the pit, push all of them down and bury them."

  When they heard this, the women were instantly terrified and fell into a heap, unable to move because their hands and feet were tightly bound. They all sat on the ground, making loud noises, while the leader's face was covered in cold sweat that dripped down his chin. This man seemed to be truly ruthless and feared that he would really take drastic measures.

  "There is one million taels of silver in my mansion, you can all take it away, I'll just pretend I've never seen you." Zai Zhen said quietly to Wang Ya Qiao.

  Wang Yazhuo didn't respond, and at this time a shallow pit appeared. With a wave of his hand, several women were immediately thrown in. Inside was Zai Zhenxin's beloved concubine. At that moment, he panicked: "What do you want? Don't be reckless!"

  "We need Mr. Bell's cooperation to withdraw the money from HSBC with that deposit slip." Wang Yaqiao said with a smile.

  "Ah, so you're going to take our lives?" Zai Zhen exclaimed in extreme terror

  Wang Ya-qiao gave Zai Zhen a cold look, scaring the latter into involuntarily shrinking his neck: "So do you want money or your life?"

  Zai Zhen Dao: "My father and I will accompany you to withdraw the money. Can you guarantee that you'll let us go after we get it?"

  Wang Yaqiao smiled coldly: "Then it depends on how well you father and son cooperate."

  "Alright, you must let go of the people in the mansion."

  Wang Yaqiao said: "I will leave some brothers here, after the payment is received, they will withdraw and not make any more demands. If you rush them, they will all be buried alive."

  "Where did Zai Zhen encounter such a thing? His teeth chattered with cold as he said, 'Alright, I and Ama will follow you, but you must not betray us.'"

  "Are you really going to burn all these women and guards to death according to plan?" Originally still very determined, Xu Xiyong quietly pulled Wang Yazuo, who was about to get on the car, aside and asked.

  Wang Ya Qiao said: "Xi Yong indeed needs to change the plan, burning them to death is too cruel, I'm afraid that if my subordinates are soft-hearted for a moment, they won't be able to do it. I'll take away twenty people, you take forty people, and then use those guards to dig the pit well, and then tie them up and bury them alive, consider it accumulating virtue."

  After finishing speaking, Wang Yaqiao got on the horse carriage without looking back, leaving behind a shocked Xuxi Yong.
