To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

Li Wenting analyzed the pros and cons to the old lady. Now Li Xiaoru could not be killed. It was the right time to kill this unlucky guy. The legitimate rivals would be attacked, and the Fourth Prince would also have to settle accounts.

Li Wenting told the old lady his idea, and she said firmly, "That's right! My son has been tempered by the ups and downs of officialdom. Do you want your wife to divorce with the children? We have to protect our family roots anyway. Find a reason and say your wife is contradicting an old woman like me. No matter what others say, as long as we don't suffer any loss, that's all. Deal with all the family property and let your wife and the children take care of it. After this, say that I've remembered my wife's kindness again."

Li Wenting, my goodness! The old lady's maneuvering was 666. If she could get away with anything, she'd get away with it. Li Wenting invited his father, who taught at the clan school, over. The old man was oblivious to the world outside his home, absorbed in the sages' books. His greatest wisdom was, "Listen to your mother, and you'll never go wrong."

Li Wenting's family began quietly selling off their land and shops. They couldn't compete with the legitimate branch of the family. A large farm might hold thousands of acres, while the Li family held only two thousand. Thanks to Yang's connections, the Li family quietly opened several businesses, keeping their wealth within reach. Yang approached her brother and sold all of his businesses for 180,000 taels of silver. The farm and land sold for 80,000 taels of silver, all of which Yang moved into the house that had been given as a dowry to Xu Huizhen.

The broken house was worth a fortune, but it would be too much trouble to clean up. Yang was reluctant to part with anything. After all the valuables were moved away, Yang took Xu Huizhen's hand and said, "My children, we women have no place to go. Huizhen, you must take good care of the two children. They are your support for the rest of your life, and they are also the roots of our Li family. Brothers Yujin and Yuze are our hope for a comeback in the future."

Xu Huizhen knelt down before Yang: "Mother, I swear to take good care of the child. I am a member of the Li family in life and in death..."

Yang covered Xu Huizhen's mouth with her hand and said, "Good child, let's not say unlucky words. It's unlucky. Mother believes you, mother believes you!"

Li Wenting secretly wrote a divorce letter and went to the government office to get a deed, moving Xu Huizhen, Li Yujin and Li Yuze's household registration out of the Li family.

Li Wenting was afraid that the old man and the old woman would not be able to bear it and would get angry, but he never expected that after Yang transferred her grandson's property, she would have nothing to worry about. The old couple ate and drank as usual, and every day they either read or jumped up and down and scolded the legitimate branch.

The court was in turmoil. The 50-strong imperial army was defeated on the battlefield and was retreating step by step. The emperor and three corrupt scholars were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

A month later, the Fourth Prince marched to the walls of the capital under the banner of purging the court. The nobles in the court were not on the same page with the emperor, and the civil service group was at a loss. At the critical moment, it was discovered that the scholars were useless.

Even if the civil service group is very talented, they cannot withstand the swords, spears, and halberds of the military.

Xu Huizhen quietly put all the valuables and dowry in the house into the space, and moved into the small house that came with her dowry with her two children.

Li Wenting secretly did something big. At midnight, Li Wenting put on a black coat and sneaked into Li Xiaoru's house.

Li Wenting released the mutated mandala, knocking out everyone in the house.

Li Wenting walked into the home of the patriarch who always talked about his intellectual character to see if this so-called honest guy had any money.

Li Wenting freed the lazy woman from the space. She found a secret room in Li Xiaoru's bedroom, which was filled with boxes. There were 50,000 taels of gold and 700,000 taels of silver. There were also more than ten large boxes filled with jewelry and jade ornaments.

Li Wenting felt that this gray income that could not be recorded in the government account books would belong to him from now on.

Li Wenting had plundered all the private treasures of the masters in Li Xiaoru's mansion. Li Wenting had no shortage of money, but this time he was out to vent his anger. This heirloom, a scourge to the nation and its people, had truly betrayed them. On the surface, he presented himself as an upright and incorruptible person, yet the private holdings of the masters in the mansion were worth two million taels of silver. Li Wenting felt that he was truly shameless, all talk of ideology, all business behind the scenes.

This money was the interest Li Wenting collected. This did not include the items in the account book. Li Wenting felt that he was very kind.

After the search was complete, Li Wenting let out a deep breath of anger and told the mutant mandala to teach Li Xiaoru a lesson: "Just get down and stop using your broken mouth to cause trouble." If Li Xiaoru didn't have the ability to clean up the mess, then let him never speak again.

This is how people are. Teeth are hard, but they will eventually leave us one day. The tongue is a soft organ but can accompany us throughout our lives.

Li Wenting went home after finishing the looting. He had no idea that the next day there was a huge commotion in Dizhi's house.

The next day, the servants of Li Xiaoru's family came to help their master dress and wash, but found that Li Xiaoru could not be woken up, so they hurriedly asked the mistress of the house, Sun, to come.

Sun felt Li Xiaoru's nose and found that he was still breathing, so she quickly asked the servant to call the imperial physician.

After the imperial physician inserted a few needles, Li Xiaoru woke up. His mouth was crooked, his eyes were slanted, and his hands were shaking violently. He needed someone to support him as he walked, sometimes 1.6 meters tall and sometimes 1.7 meters tall. The imperial physician diagnosed that Li Ge Lao had suffered a stroke.

At this juncture, the emperor was confused and hurriedly sent a group of imperial doctors to treat Li Xiaoru. However, the result was of course that there was no way to treat Li Xiaoru. The illness was too serious and we were powerless to do anything.

The emperor was furious and called the Imperial Hospital a bunch of useless people.

The Fourth Prince was a ruthless man. After opening the city gates of the capital for half a month, he did not encounter any decent resistance.

The Li family knew that what was coming was finally coming. The final nail in the coffin had fallen. The Fourth Prince had broken into the capital, and the Emperor was nowhere to be found, leaving the entire court in a state of panic.

The Fourth Prince finally sat on the supreme throne. The next step was to deal with the group of people left behind by the former emperor. There were only so many positions, and the Fourth Prince had to appease his loyal followers, so he had to deal with all the people left behind by the former emperor.

The fourth prince raised the butcher knife, and any minister who had joined the former emperor in arranging the reduction of the power of the princes would not have a good end.

The first to be targeted were the direct descendants of the cabinet. Even a direct descendant who had suffered a stroke was not spared, being sentenced to immediate execution. The adult males in his family were also dragged out and beheaded. The rest were sent to the Nurgandusi to farm, and no one would be pardoned. As for the Li family members who had achieved meritorious service, their honors were stripped away and demoted to commoners, and all were also sent to the Nurgandusi to farm.

The new emperor was also short of money, so he took this opportunity to eliminate dissidents and enrich the national treasury.

The Li family breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the verdict. As long as they were not killed, they would have peace of mind.

When the officers and soldiers came to search Li Wenting's house, they couldn't believe their eyes. The family of this director of the Imperial College was too poor. In total, they found more than two thousand taels of silver and a pile of rough furniture.

The captain who was confiscating the property started to complain. "Li Wenting, is this all the money your family has? Hiding money is a crime on top of a crime!"
