Free Web NovelChapter 555: Chapter 153: The Overconfident Grand Eunuch—Preparing to Visit the Celestial Prison
"..."
In the end, Wei Hongfang didn’t make a move either.
After all, even though Wei Hongfang was furious, he hadn’t completely lost his mind.
Just like the other said.
This imperial decree was given by the master himself, written out by Yan Fuhai’s own hand—even if I killed this eunuch delivering the decree, what meaning would it have?
The contents of the decree wouldn’t change in the slightest.
"This old slave accepts the decree and gives thanks!"
In the end, Wei Hongfang still accepted the decree, except that as he spoke the words, his fist was clenched tightly.
What exactly was going on in his heart,
Probably only Wei Hongfang himself knew.
"Ahem! Since that is so, then this residence—I hope Lord Wei can clear it out as soon as possible!"
The imperial decree already stated that anything once bestowed upon Wei Hongfang would be reclaimed—and that naturally included the house he currently lived in.
"..."
Truly, not a shred of mercy is left, huh.
Wei Hongfang was silent for a moment, then said flatly, his face unmoved.
"Got it."
At last, the eunuch who was in charge of announcing the decree, after saying a few words, turned to leave.
Mainly, it was that Wei Hongfang’s look was honestly too terrifying.
Afraid the guy might suddenly lash out with a slap—would his head even be attached then?
So, after giving instructions, the eunuch immediately left.
As for Wei Hongfang, freeweɓnovel.cøm
He stared at the residence he had lived in for so long, and really hadn’t thought there would come a day he’d be kicked out of here.
"Master, you really are heartless, aren’t you?"
He couldn’t hold it—Wei Hongfang suddenly gave a chuckle, then muttered quietly.
All these years beside Yan Fuhai,
Yan Fuhai’s callousness and cold-bloodedness—Wei Hongfang had seen it long ago, just never expected it would one day be turned on himself.
If you say there wasn’t a single grievance against Yan Fuhai inside—of course, that’s impossible.
It’s just that—
His fist clenched, but in the end, he weakly let go.
So what if I’m angry?
Am I really going to track Yan Fuhai down and confront him? What would that achieve? Might just get kicked out the door even harder.
The next day.
Wei Hongfang was successfully driven out of his own residence.
Not long ago, he was still the mighty "Nine-thousand-year-old" of Great Qian. Now, he’s hit rock bottom in an instant—all his rewards confiscated. If not for having squirreled away some cash for himself,
He might not even have enough for an inn and would just have to sleep on the streets.
Still—
Grandmaster is Grandmaster. Few would really dare to show up and mock Wei Hongfang to his face.
After all, not everyone’s a moron.
Wei Hongfang only lost the Nine-thousand-year-old title. His cultivation wasn’t scrapped—he’s still every bit a late-stage Grandmaster.
Offend him and get a beating—
You might not even have a place to cry about it!
...
"He got kicked out of his residence?"
On Ye Liuyun’s end,
The next day, when he arrived at the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters, he received the news from Si Nan about Wei Hongfang being booted out of his house.
No denying it—
Yun Hu and Guan Bao, those two brothers, really do have something to them.
The original plan was just for those two to be a thorn in Wei Hongfang’s side, hold him up a bit. Who’d have thought they’d actually pull it off and bring Wei Hongfang down.
All you can say is—
Wei Hongfang really does have some talent for picking adopted sons, at least.
"Hehe! Sir, you wouldn’t believe it—when I heard Wei Hongfang was trying to stay at an inn, several shops, no matter how much money he threw at them, just wouldn’t let him in."
"Expected. He’s pissed off too many. When you fall, karma comes knocking."
Ye Liuyun really wasn’t surprised.
Back when Wei Hongfang was the Nine-thousand-year-old, there was nothing good about his deeds.
At times like this, all those people he’d offended are bound to want some payback. They might not dare take him on directly, but petty harassment? No problem at all.
"Alright, just keep a simple eye on him. No need to pay too much attention."
He waved his hand.
Ye Liuyun didn’t say anything further about Wei Hongfang’s situation.
Everything’s basically prepared now—just waiting on Fu Zhengqing to throw in the last spark.
So Ye Liuyun wasn’t in much of a hurry.
In the next few days—
Ye Liuyun spent most of his time shuttling between the Imperial Prison and Purgatory. Nothing was more important to Ye Liuyun than those Talent Entries.
But unfortunately—
Good Talent Entries are rare as always.
After all these days, Ye Liuyun hadn’t even found a single purple-grade Talent Entry.
"Gotta think of something—see if I can take a look inside the Celestial Prison too."
That day, coming out of the Imperial Prison, Ye Liuyun stroked his chin, lost in thought.
All of Great Qian’s places for holding prisoners—there are only three in total.
Imperial Prison, Purgatory, and the Ministry of Justice’s Celestial Prison.
Technically, the Celestial Prison’s the loosest—a cakewalk to escape from. It’s even said the Ministry collects bribes from prisoner families, lets them out, then grabs some vagrant as a substitute scapegoat.
But on paper— fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
The Celestial Prison is still the largest among the three.
Only problem is, that’s the Ministry of Justice’s turf—completely different from the Imperial Prison and Purgatory.
The relationship between Ye Liuyun and the Ministry of Justice? "Familiar" isn’t the word—all those folks had their houses raided by Ye Liuyun at some point.
Each and every one of them—probably hates Ye Liuyun’s guts by now!
"Whatever, I’ll find time to go check it out later."
Even if those Ministry guys probably won’t give me so much as a decent look.
Doesn’t matter—Ye Liuyun couldn’t care less about that stuff. Give me attitude all you like, as long as it doesn’t get in the way of me collecting Talent Entries, I don’t care.
