Chapter 58

"I limit you to send the six million Qian gambling debt to the treasury before dark."

"If even one Qian is missing, I will hold you accountable!"

Chunyu Yue and Feng Quji looked at each other.

They didn't expect the Ninth Prince to come to them for debt so quickly.

"Ninth Prince, this six million Qian is too large an amount; in one day, this subordinate finds it hard to gather!"

"I wonder if you could grant us some more time?"

Chunyu Yue cupped his hands, looking constipated.

Even if the two split it, with one person paying three million Qian, he couldn't take it out.

He was originally somewhat disheartened, thinking the Ninth Prince's position as Crown Prince was stable.

If that were the case, there would be nothing for Prince Fu Su.

But thinking from another angle, it seemed this was not a bad thing.

Isn't the Ninth Prince going to reform?

Isn't he going to collect taxes from the nobles?

Isn't he going to take the knife to the nobles?

Taking the knife to the nobles is also disguised as taking the knife to his Rujia Sect; how could this be tolerated?

As long as he unites with Chancellor Feng to trip up the Ninth Prince, he cannot successfully reform.

When the time comes and the task is not completed, His Majesty will doubt the Ninth Prince's ability.

When His Majesty blames him, let alone the position of Crown Prince, I fear even the position of Prince might be lost!

If it were in front of Qin Shi Huang, he, Chunyu Yue, would not dare to be presumptuous at all.

Let alone being presumptuous, he wouldn't even dare to breathe loudly.

The imperial dominance on Qin Shi Huang is not a joke.

But if it were in front of this young brat, it would be too simple.

With his means, he doesn't believe he can't deal with a young brat.

"Ninth Prince, this subordinate is upright and clean, with clean hands; let alone a million Qian, I can't even take out one hundred thousand Qian!"

"Could you grant us a few days, so this subordinate can find a way to gather these three million Qian?"

Feng Quji also spoke, but there was not much respect in his words.

As a dignified Chancellor of a country, why should he be polite to a regent Prince?

Clearly, he did not put Ying Ying Zi Ye in his eyes.

"Debts must be repaid, it is only right and proper!"

Ying Ying Zi Ye remained unmoved.

"Ninth Prince, this subordinate, Feng Jie, has something to remonstrate!"

Suddenly, a voice came.

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked toward the source of the voice.

Feng Jie?

Feng Quji's son?

This kid is a remonstrance official in the court; seeing his old man lose millions of Qian, is he anxious?

"What do you wish to remonstrate?"

"Ninth Prince, in the court, such a shocking wager, why not just forget it?"

"Everyone is working for His Majesty; besides, Chancellor Feng's family doesn't have that much money!"

Feng Jie was a bit anxious; three million Qian, it was simply going to cost his life!

He wanted to see if it could not be paid.

If the Ninth Prince showed mercy, perhaps...

"Why not just forget it?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye sneered and asked instead of answering.

"You probably forgot the content of the wager, right?"

"If I had lost, what would you have done?"

"This..."

Feng Jie couldn't speak.

Just now he was only thinking about whether this money could not be paid, and didn't think about what would happen if the Ninth Prince lost.

Now that the Ninth Prince reminded him, he lowered his head in shame and retreated.

"If you want to renege on the debt, ask the Lu Lu Sword if it agrees!"

Ying Ying Zi Ye glanced at Feng Jie and looked lightly at Feng Quji and Chunyu Yue.

He did not put these two in his eyes at all.

If these two didn't know what was good for them and annoyed him, he would just cut them down with one sword.

As for Brother Zheng, he would explain it then.

"Wang Li!"

"This general is here!"

Wang Li stepped out, cupped his hands, and saluted to receive the order.

Although he was a bit puzzled, not knowing what the Ninth Prince wanted him for.

But the current Ninth Prince is the regent, and he must also obey his orders.

Ying Ying Zi Ye handed over the Lu Lu Sword.

"Step forward and receive the sword!"

"Today I bestow the Lu Lu Sword upon you; if those two do not send the six million Qian to the treasury before dark."

"You may lead troops to... raid their homes, and execute their entire families!"

Raid... raid their homes?

Execute... execute their entire families?

Wang Li was stunned.

For real?

This is playing a bit too big!

But he didn't care about these.

Their Wang family is loyal to Great Qin, loyal to His Majesty Qin Shi Huang.

They will execute all orders of His Majesty Qin Shi Huang.

They do not oppose reform; on the contrary, they support it!

Although the Ninth Prince is not Qin Shi Huang.

But Qin Shi Huang handed the heavy responsibility of regency to the Ninth Prince.

Then their Wang family must unconditionally obey the command!

"This general receives the decree!"

Wang Li took the Lu Lu Sword, holding it high above his head with both hands to show respect!

After all, where the Lu Lu Sword points, it is as if His Majesty has arrived in person! ===== CHAPTER 60 =====
