Chapter 159

Ying Ying Zi Ye didn't care that they were in the court; he would scold if he had to.

It would be best if he could change Prince Fu Su's thinking.

The best way was to drive all the Confucianists away from Prince Fu Su.

With less contact with them, he wouldn't be poisoned so deeply.

Over time, perhaps Prince Fu Su could change.

Chunyu Yue's crime could be big or small, but for Prince Fu Su's sake.

Therefore, he wasn't killed, but sent to do corvée labor, to fend for himself!

The crime of not collecting taxes alone could demote him to a commoner.

If it were anyone else, they could be executed, but everything was for Prince Fu Su's sake, so he was dealt with lightly.

Now he colluded with the remnants of the Six States, the crime is one degree heavier!

Therefore, being demoted to corvée labor was not wrong.

The others couldn't find any reason to plead for Chunyu Yue.

And Prince Fu Su, hearing these words, was also somewhat ashamed.

If his teacher really did these things.

Then he really shouldn't plead for mercy.

Colluding with the remnants of the Six States was not a big deal for Prince Fu Su, after all, his guests had many such people before.

But assassinating a prince of the nation was a super big event.

And he knew the reason why Father Emperor didn't like him, but he couldn't change it for a while.

Lin Zhichong, hearing about colluding with the remnants of the Six States, was so scared that he collapsed on the ground.

If it was found out that it had something to do with him, then the execution of the three clans wouldn't be far off.

Fortunately, because Chunyu Yue was Prince Prince Fu Su's teacher, they wouldn't investigate further.

But he was therefore to be executed, and he regretted it.

He regretted not listening to that old geezer, otherwise, why would he sacrifice his family's life for some interests?

He was to be executed, while Chunyu Yue was the mastermind, his family was fine, and he himself was only demoted to corvée labor.

Why is it so unfair?

Is it because he, Chunyu Yue, is the Prince's teacher, so he is treated specially?

A surge of anger rose in his heart, and Lin Zhichong's face became distorted.

Not knowing where the strength came from, he stood up abruptly.

"I don't accept it! Why should I be executed? Why is Chunyu Yue's whole family fine?"

Chunyu Yue saw Lin Zhichong stand up, feeling uneasy, feeling that a disaster was imminent.

Lin Zhichong looked at Chunyu Yue viciously; it was because of this old geezer that he was now to be executed.

He originally just wanted to get more benefits, and the assassination had nothing to do with him.

But he knew that Great Qin's laws were strict, and he couldn't escape death, but he didn't want to implicate his family.

"Ninth Prince, this subordinate has a piece of news here; can it buy the lives of my 345 family members?"

"Can you let this subordinate die alone and use this news to exchange for my family's lives?"

Lin Zhichong knelt down to Ying Ying Zi Ye, praying to spare his family's lives.

Chunyu Yue's face turned pale, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

"Oh? If the weight of this news is enough, it's not impossible; tell me and let me hear!"

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at Lin Zhichong with interest, seeing his vicious look, he guessed it had something to do with Chunyu Yue.

"The news the Ninth Prince found is correct; Chunyu Yue did indeed collude with the remnants of the Chu State!"

"And the Ninth Prince's whereabouts were also leaked by him; this subordinate was also present at the time and wanted to stop it, but he threatened me and wouldn't let me speak."

"I just wanted to get more benefits from the nobles; I never thought about assassinating the Ninth Prince."

"It is this old geezer who colluded with those assassins!"

Lin Zhichong said, pointing to Chunyu Yue, who was standing to the side and trembling.

"It is this old geezer; he thought the Ninth Prince's tax reform was aimed at Confucianism, and when the Chu State remnants found him, he leaked your whereabouts; it has nothing to do with this subordinate; this subordinate just wanted to get benefits from the nobles; please Ninth Prince, judge clearly!"

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials were shocked.

Good fellow, there is such a deep dark curtain between these two!

Chunyu Yue, hearing this, couldn't stand steadily and fell to the ground.

"It's over."

Chunyu Yue only had this thought in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 161 ===== Strictness and Laxity, One Death and One Life
