Chapter 106

If they don't complete the task, will they really be executed?

"Sigh, this is forcing us to do things for him!"

"How can it be like this? How does he dare?"

"Now the lives of the whole family are in the hands of the Ninth Prince; the previous method of tripping him up won't work anymore!"

Some lower-level officials whispered to each other.

"Are you all afraid of this?"

Censor-in-Chief Liu Zichong swept his gaze over everyone with disdain.

"Almost all the ministers of Great Qin are here; does Ying Ying Zi Ye dare to kill them all?"

"We have so many family members and retainers, adding up to tens of thousands of people; does he dare to kill them all?"

"It's just scaring you; if you take it seriously, then you lose!"

"At this time, don't be scared by him, otherwise it will be really dangerous!"

"With so many of us, he certainly won't dare to take action, unless he doesn't want to live either!"

Liu Zichong scolded loudly, not worried at all that Ying Ying Zi Ye would dare to take action.

The ministers heard Liu Zichong's words and all felt it made a lot of sense.

With so many people, not to mention one Ying Ying Zi Ye, even His Majesty wouldn't dare to say kill just because he wants to!

"Ying Ying Zi Ye certainly won't dare to act recklessly, otherwise if His Majesty knows, he won't have to be Regent anymore."

"Maybe he will even be demoted to a commoner because of this, and even his position as Prince won't be guaranteed!"

"Even if his power is great, he won't dare to kill us all, otherwise there won't be many officials left in the Great Qin court."

"Who will serve His Majesty then? Who will manage Great Qin for His Majesty?"

"The Great Qin court won't work without us; he should just be scaring us."

"Our plan must still be executed; he can't scare us, the law does not punish the masses!"

The officials all regained their confidence, looking as if they didn't fear life or death.

At this time, the Physician Xiao Ren, who had eighteen concubines at home, said in a low voice:

"What if Ying Ying Zi Ye kills the chicken to warn the monkey again, and only kills us small officials?"

"You know, we have the lives of our whole family here!"

"If this is the case, then the ones who will suffer are the small officials and small scribes."

Once this was said, it immediately attracted the attention of many officials.

After all, Ying Ying Zi Ye disagreed and directly beheaded the heads of three small officials.

Officials with high positions are not afraid, but small officials are afraid!

And it's not just one life, but the lives of the whole family are tied together.

Many people didn't dare to take the risk; after all, big officials only account for a minority, and most are small officials.

Most ministers had the intention to retreat.

They didn't want to gamble with the lives of their whole family.

If Ying Ying Zi Ye comes for real, then the whole family is finished.

They would rather execute the order to levy taxes than let the lives of their whole family be threatened.

"The most feared thing is that Ying Ying Zi Ye will hide it from His Majesty and kill us all; if His Majesty knows afterwards, no matter how he punishes Ying Ying Zi Ye, it seems to have nothing to do with us, after all, our whole family won't be alive by then."

At this time, an official said so.

The rest of the officials nodded in agreement.

This reform-resisting group of theirs appeared to retreat for the first time.

Everyone looked at Feng Quji and Chunyu Yue.

Their official ranks were high, and they were the least likely to be killed.

They all wanted to know what they thought and if they had any countermeasures.

The two looked at each other and saw the worries of these people.

Neither of them could guarantee whether Ying Ying Zi Ye would be insane enough to behead the small officials.

Although it is said that the law does not punish the masses, beheading ten or eight small officials doesn't seem to be something anyone can do to Ying Ying Zi Ye.

Watching this temporary camp about to disintegrate because of this move by Ying Ying Zi Ye, Chunyu Yue frowned.

"Everyone doesn't need to worry too much; with so many officials and family members, Ying Ying Zi Ye won't dare to act recklessly!"

"As long as we are united against the outside, he certainly won't dare to act recklessly!"

Chunyu Yue wanted to unite these people against the outside, but soon he knew it was impossible.

"The Doctor certainly isn't afraid; no matter what, the Doctor is also Prince Fu Su's teacher."

"If everyone present loses their heads, I reckon the Doctor's head will still be fine."

"Exactly, we small officials don't have this kind of relationship; if we are not careful, our whole family will lose their heads!"

Feng Quji also frowned; the most diligent in opposing reform was Chunyu Yue.

After all, those in his school were all nobles, gentry, and wealthy family disciples.

Levying taxes on nobles and collecting fertile land had the greatest impact on his Rujia Sect.

So Chunyu Yue spared no effort to want to promote this alliance to resist Ying Ying Zi Ye.

But Feng Quji didn't dare to gamble; the lives of so many officials and family members, this is not a joke.

If one thing goes wrong, maybe Ying Ying Zi Ye will kill the chicken to warn the monkey again, killing three or five families at once, and then it will be too late to regret.

"Mobilizing soldiers into the city without cause and daring to surround the residences of officials has already violated Great Qin law."

"The best plan now is for us to jointly submit a memorial to His Majesty to impeach Ying Ying Zi Ye!"

Feng Quji's voice echoed in everyone's ears.

"Good idea! Must go and participate in that kid's book!"

"Such a big event, we don't believe His Majesty can still ignore it!" ===== CHAPTER 108 =====
