NOVEL WEB Chapter 65 Great Purge
However, the Sword of Damocles that hung over the heads of the noble families soon fell.
Yao family.
"You, you...what do you want to do??"
Yang Yuanfei's expression was stern, but her tone was a little panicked.
She and her son, who was less than ten years old, were surrounded by the Yao family.
Yao E sneered and said:
"Concubine Yang Yuan, you almost harmed our Yao family, and now you dare to put on airs in front of us?"
Concubine Yang Yuan's expression was full of humiliation and regret.
At that time, Concubine Yang Yuan was one of the instigators who united the aristocratic families against Yun Chen and secretly suppressed Yun Chen's power.
Now that Yun Chen is in power, how can she be spared?
For the Yao family, now is the time to cut off from Concubine Yang Yuan.
I saw Yao E cupping his hands toward the sky, as if saluting Yun Chen who was far away in the horizon, and then he looked at Concubine Yang Yuan with a look of hatred and said:
"Lord Yunchen is wise and powerful, and his achievements are as high as the heavens. He devotes himself to the future of the human race and dedicates himself!"
"And you, how dare you oppose Mr. Yun Chen? Concubine Yang Yuan, you really deserve to die!"
"You are simply the public enemy of mankind!"
Yao E pointed at Concubine Yang Yuan and cursed loudly.
"You... okay, I accept whatever you do to me, but Ziye... Ziye's surname is Yao, and he is the posthumous son of the previous head of the family. You guys..."
Yang Yuanfei knew that her fate would be controlled by Yun Chen, but she still placed her hope in her son.
"Haha, keep him...will he avenge you in the future?"
Yao E sneered, then waved his hand and ordered:
"Arrest this evil mother and son, hand them over to the Inspection Department, and hand them over to Master Dong Ning of the Inspection Department!"
"no, do not want--"
Concubine Yang Yuan screamed in horror and was taken away by warriors from the Inspection Department.
But no one in the Yao family stood up to pity her, and everyone wanted her to die soon.
They all knew that if they didn't deal with Concubine Yang Yuan, then Yun Chen would be the next one to deal with them.
At the same time, Yao E also ordered:
"Now that the culprit, Concubine Yang Yuan, has been brought to justice, our Yao family has voluntarily disposed of all our property in order to support Lord Yunchen's great cause! We will use our light and heat to regain the human world! And we call on all aristocratic families to take action with us!"
Yao E struck first. Although this series of operations was despised by many people, it did save the lives of hundreds of people in the Yao family.
Of course, not all aristocratic families know how to adapt to the situation like the Yao family. Many aristocratic families are either lucky or relying on their own power to still fight against Yun Chen.
During this period of time, a total of almost a hundred aristocratic families were collectively demoted to commoners by Yunchen.
Among the more than a hundred aristocratic families who were demoted to common people, each family faced the fate of losing everything. Their property was confiscated, the family fortunes they were originally proud of were reduced to nothing, and they were reduced to ordinary people overnight.
The Yang family was not spared the disaster, but managed to retain a trace of dignity under the gears of fate.
Only a few of Yang Yuanyan's close associates survived, while the other family members were all purged, falling from aristocratic status to common people, and some were even completely deprived of their clan identity.
"wait wait wait!"
"You can't treat me like this! I am the elder of the Yang family! Others call me Mr. Yang respectfully, why do you dare to treat me like this!!"
"I have not committed a crime! I am not guilty enough to die!!"
"Yun Chen!! Yun Chen——!"
Yang Changsheng was dragged out of the Yang Mansion by warriors from the Inspection Department. It was Li Siyu who led the people to fetch him. Now she and Dong Ning are in charge of the Inspection Department in the imperial capital, and they are both core figures of the Yunchen faction.
And this was also the last time Yang Changsheng appeared in the eyes of everyone.
No one knew where Yang Changsheng went afterward, and everyone tacitly forgot about him.
The people of the Yang family may face a difficult road to start over, and may have to endure more hardships and sufferings, but they can only silently accept their fate.
"Yun Chen... why don't we let them go?"
Yang Yuanyan saw the members of the Yang family who were shackled and staggered out of Yang's mansion one after another.
Unable to bear it, she once tried to plead with Yun Chen.
"These people once helped Yang Changsheng deal with you, and you still want to speak for them?"
Yun Chen played with the two jade beads in his hand and asked Yang Yuanyan with a smile.
Yang Yuanyan's face turned red and she said in a somewhat embarrassed tone:
"Many people are also forced and helpless..."
Yun Chen put down the jade beads, looked deeply into the distance, and said after a moment of silence:
"Xiao Ci is the thief of Da Ci."
"These people can't stay, they have to go where they belong."
The war is about to begin, and Yunchen needs a large amount of labor to produce various materials needed for the soldiers on the front line.
These people who once opposed themselves are of course the most suitable labor force.
Seeing Yunchen like this, Yang Yuanyan just sighed in her heart. She knew that it was useless to say anything else.
Today's Yunchen is someone she needs to look up to.
Even if he can blow his mind, is Yun Chen the kind of person who will be influenced by others?
While Yunchen and Yang Yuanyan were chatting, Li Siyu and Dong Ning led everyone in from outside the house.
Seeing this, Yang Yuanyan quickly sat up from Yun Chen's arms, straightened her disheveled chest, glared at Yun Chen, and quickly sat on the other side.
Li Siyu and Dong Ning also noticed something was wrong, and the two women looked at each other awkwardly.
"Siyu Dongning, what's wrong?"
Yunchen, on the other hand, remained calm and asked with a faint smile.
Li Siyu coughed dryly, and then reported to Yun Chenhui solemnly.
"Qin Xi's move."
Yun Chen's expression finally changed and he motioned for Li Siyu to continue.
Li Siyu told Yun Chen everything.
Including various martial arts treasures that the Qin family has secretly collected over the years, as well as many activities that the Qin family has secretly engaged in, as well as the existence of underground laboratories.
"By the way, Yunchen, we finally found this list."
Li Siyu handed Yun Chen a piece of information.
The names of two people were clearly written on it: Su Anbang and Yi Shaomei.
The names of Su Qing's parents.
More than twenty years ago, Su Qing's parents accidentally discovered the human genetic modification experiment and were secretly killed.
Su Anbang and his wife were behind the Su family of Jiangnan Province. The only underground force in the imperial capital that could easily kill them and get away with it was the only one.
Yun Chen looked down at the information and slowly said to Li Siyu:
"Catch everyone involved in these things."
Li Siyu asked: "To kill or not?"
"Catch them alive."
They are Su Qing's enemies, and Yun Chen must be dealt with by her personally.
"...What if Qingqing lets these people go?"
Yang Yuanyan suddenly asked, Su Qing was a gentle person and it was indeed possible for him to do such a thing.
Yun Chen put the information away, finally raised his head and said slowly:
"Then I'll kill you."
