Chapter 104

"This method is okay, but on the surface, we still have to listen to his orders, otherwise it is disobeying His Majesty's orders; we can only do some tricks in secret, as long as we work together, we won't be afraid of Ying Ying Zi Ye daring to act recklessly!"

"As long as he still dares to kill people randomly like today, we must work together to stop him! Anyway, he is acting recklessly."

"This is very good! As long as we are of one mind, wanting to pull a wet-behind-the-ears kid off his horse, isn't that a matter of minutes?"

"But... if we do this, what if he drags us out and beheads us again? I have an eighty-year-old mother above, a baby waiting to be fed below, and eighteen concubines on the side; this official doesn't want to be the first bird for Ying Ying Zi Ye to behead, after all, he has the right to execute first and report later!"

A minister said this, and the hundred officials all quieted down.

This minister was a Physician and also an admonishing official, named Xiao Ren, whose position was under the jurisdiction of the Palace Order.

What the ministers feared was Ying Ying Zi Ye's right to execute first and report later; just like just now, they disagreed and he directly beheaded three people.

Is it really useful for them to work together to stop him?

Can they withstand the pressure of the soldiers?

If they dare to stop him, will they be dragged out and beheaded together?

Chunyu Yue, seeing the hundred officials all stop speaking, clearly no one wanted to be that first bird.

He immediately sneered a few times.

"Ying Ying Zi Ye beheaded three people today, just to give us a warning, but he doesn't dare to behead everyone, otherwise who will manage the court? Without us, this Great Qin will be in chaos! He certainly doesn't dare to kill us all."

"The Doctor's words make sense; as long as we are united, Ying Ying Zi Ye certainly won't dare to behead us all."

"Right, without us, the entire Great Qin court will be in complete chaos; he certainly won't dare!"

"Everyone just wait it out; after some time, when His Majesty sees he has made no achievements, he will certainly take back his power as Regent!"

"Right, as long as he loses favor, we can live as we usually do."

"This kid won't be able to jump around for too long!"

"Ahahaha..."

The ministers all laughed heartily, following in appearance but opposing in heart, secretly tripping Ying Ying Zi Ye up.

These were the good strategies they discussed; as long as they were united, it would be effective.

Ying Ying Zi Ye didn't dare to defy the world and behead them all; this was the reliance they depended on.

Just as the ministers were laughing heartily.

A steward ran in hurriedly from outside.

"Master, it's bad! Our residence has been surrounded!"

When the steward finished this sentence, he didn't know if he was scared or tired from running, and he fell directly to the ground.

"What did you say? The residence was surrounded?"

"How is this possible? Who has such big guts? Daring to surround my residence?"

Chunyu Yue's expression was startled, and then he was furious.

Who is he, Chunyu Yue?

The teacher of the dignified Prince Fu Su; just based on this, who would dare to surround his residence?

Not to mention the small officials and scribes of Xianyang City, even the former Li Si wouldn't necessarily dare to surround his residence.

The ministers were all uneasy; even the Doctor's residence dared to be surrounded?

This must have eaten a bear's heart and leopard's gall, right?

"It is General Wang Li and General Li Xin!"

"They sent troops to surround the residence, saying only entry is allowed, not exit!"

"And they let this small one bring a message: if the family members inside dare to leave the residence by half a step, immediate execution!"

The steward wiped the sweat on his forehead, somewhat terrified.

"How dare they mobilize soldiers into the city? Wanting to rebel?"

An official heard the steward's words and stood up in shock.

"The soldiers stationed outside Xianyang City cannot enter the city without His Majesty's decree."

"These two mobilized troops into the city without authorization; wouldn't they want to rebel?"

"Or... could it be that His Majesty decreed it?"

"It wouldn't be that His Majesty knew we were discussing dealing with Ying Ying Zi Ye here, and therefore wanted to take us down, right?"

Another official also stood up, somewhat worried.

It would have been better if this official hadn't said this; once said, it scared even Chunyu Yue.

If it were really His Majesty's decree, then his residence would probably be razed to the ground.

The remaining officials were also whispering, fearing it would implicate their families.

"All lords and masters, you guessed wrong; I heard General Wang say those soldiers weren't sent by His Majesty, it was the Ninth Prince!"

The steward saw a group of officials panic, all imagining the whole family was going to be beheaded.

No way, he could only bite the bullet and interrupt their words.

You know, in Great Qin, when masters are talking, servants cannot interrupt at will, otherwise if they annoy the masters, they will be demoted to commoners.

The ministers heard this and all quieted down.

As long as it wasn't His Majesty's decree, their hearts wouldn't be so panicked, and there would still be a chance for remedy.

Seeing the ministers all quieted down, the steward glanced at everyone, and seeing he hadn't angered them, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"They also let this small one bring a message to the master."

"Saying within a month, if the task issued by the Ninth Prince is not completed, then the master's entire family will be executed! Not even chickens or dogs will be left!"

The officials who heard these words were all shocked.

Execution of entire families? How dare they?

Can the right to execute first and report later be played like this?

Aren't they afraid that after beheading everyone, there will be no one to serve Great Qin?

Just at this moment. ===== CHAPTER 106 =====
