The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 275: War of words at the city gate

As some people spoke out, all the people outside the city gate shouted loudly, one voice after another, and immediately set off a firefight at the city gate.

When Emperor Yan saw this scene, he looked at Jiang Fan with a smile and nodded with satisfaction.

How could he not see that the group of people who were the first to agree were obviously prepared in advance by his son or daughter-in-law.

If we talk about who is the best at stirring up public opinion, he, the Qilinzi, is second to none. After this, how could Ye Ren and others dare to say anything to stop him?

Emperor Yan felt unhappy when he thought about how that group of guys had used some kind of etiquette to morally blackmail him.

He looked unhappy just now, but it wasn't because Jiang Fan asked him to close the case.

Instead, that group of people put themselves on the moral high ground and actually wanted to kidnap him.

He originally thought that his son might not be able to solve the problem, but he did not expect his son's words to be so inspiring!

Now that public opinion is like this, how dare those old guys say anything?

Ye Ren, a group of court officials, and several princes all changed their expressions when they saw this scene. They had never thought that Jiang Fan had this skill.

The Sixth Prince, in particular, looked at Jiang Fan with fear in his eyes. He was watching coldly, but he knew very well that Jiang Fan had been prepared for that move just now.

He might even have calculated that Ye Ren and others would cause trouble, and had already prepared a countermeasure.

Ye Ren and the others seemed to have the upper hand just now, but in fact, they had already stepped into Jiang Fan's trap step by step.

A feeling of fear surged in his heart, and he looked at Jiang Fan with even more fear.

Such a strong opponent, too scary! He's the first mover at every step! He has to think three steps ahead when taking one step!

"My dear ministers, what do you think?" Emperor Yan looked at the court officials and said with a smile on his face.

Seeing his expression, all the court officials knew what the Emperor of Yan meant.

He seemed to be asking everyone, but was he seeking their opinions? He was asking everyone to praise his son!

"Your Majesty is wise and a benevolent ruler. His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince has inherited your Majesty's true teachings and knows your Majesty's intentions very well. We will obey your Majesty's orders in everything!" Most of the court officials knelt down immediately.

Now that nearly ten thousand people around have said that the emperor is wise, if they jump out to oppose him again, they will be seeking death.

Just as Jiang Fan said, what is your intention? You even cursed the emperor to be infamous for eternity.

Just as they had this thought, they saw the Emperor of Yan looking at Ye Ren and other court officials with cold eyes, and said in a chilling voice: "Prime Minister Ye and other dear ministers, are you cursing me to be infamous for thousands of years?!"

As soon as Emperor Yan said this, his icy voice frightened Ye Ren, Huang Zhenren, Shi Wenzong and others so much that they kowtowed and begged for mercy immediately.

"Your Majesty, I did not mean that. I was confused for a moment and spoke without thinking. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Ye Ren spoke first.

The others nodded repeatedly and begged for mercy in a hurry.

Jiang Fan's words were full of murderous intent. If they dared to say that Emperor Yan really wanted to close the case here, they would definitely lose their prestige, and Emperor Yan might probably chop them to death on the spot.

Ye Ren and the others hated Jiang Fan very much and felt extremely aggrieved and wronged. They never said anything about being infamous forever, it was obvious that they would become a laughing stock!

However, what is the difference between becoming a laughing stock in history and being infamous for eternity? They dare not even try to quibble!

"Since you accept the punishment, I will grant your wish. Come here, Ye Ren, Huang Zhenren, Shi Wenzong and others have violated the rules in front of the Holy Emperor and insulted His Majesty. They should be beheaded and their entire clans exterminated. However, I consider that it was unintentional and will punish them with thirty strokes of the cane as an example to others!"

As soon as Emperor Yan said this, Ye Ren and others were stunned. What the hell, they just argued with the Eighth Prince for a few words, but how did he end up being charged with beheading and extermination of nine generations of his clan?

Fortunately, Emperor Yan didn't seem to want to kill them, otherwise, they would really be beheaded and their entire clan would be exterminated!

But even if he was beaten with thirty sticks, it would still be fatal.

Several people opened their mouths to beg for mercy, but Ye Ren was obviously more experienced and cunning. If they begged for mercy at this time, they might not only be beaten with a stick, but they might even lose their heads.

He glanced at a few people coldly and gave them a wink. Those who were about to beg for mercy immediately became obedient!

They were dragged away and beaten with military sticks. Their skin was torn and their flesh was torn. The other court officials' brows jumped and they looked at Jiang Fan with eyes full of fear and relief.

Fortunately, I didn't jump out, otherwise, I would have been tricked by the father and son duo in front of me. The father and son sang in unison, and it was obvious that they were tricking people!

Seeing Ye Ren and the others being taught a lesson, Emperor Yan couldn't help but feel happy. He hadn't felt so happy for a long time.

Ye Ren and his gang have been using moral blackmail on him, but he can never find a chance to deal with them.

After all, he didn't want to be a tyrant who killed people at will, nor did he want to be a corrupt official who didn't listen to others.

So, sometimes you just have to hold your breath.

Now, his son found an excuse to trick others with just a few words, and caused Ye Ren and others to suffer such a big loss, how could he not be happy!

While Ye Ren was being beaten, he looked at the eldest prince Jiang Yi and the other three princes, with a sinister look in his eyes.

Jiang Yi met Ye Ren's gaze, and his heart was also furious. Ye Ren had decided to give it a try. If the person could not fall into their hands, they could only kill him.

After all, they wanted to get him back because they wanted to take this opportunity to deal with Jiang Fan again, so that Jiang Fan's efforts in Hejianzhou would be in vain. This would completely cut off Jiang Fan's thoughts of being dependent on the court officials.

But they never expected that they failed and were instead betrayed by Jiang Fan. If the person still remained in Jiang Fan's hands, it would be extremely disadvantageous to them.

Don't forget that Jiang Fan brought the people back and planned to close the case for the emperor, which was to nail them to death. For their own safety, they had to protect themselves.

Jiang Yi looked at one of the generals of the Imperial Guards and winked at him. The general nodded in understanding and looked at several of the Imperial Guards calmly.

A few of them nodded and exchanged glances with the people around them. There were about twenty of them in total.

When Ye Ren said he wanted to kill someone, the eldest prince Jiang Yi used the deputy commander of the imperial guard who was attached to him to stuff twenty assassins into the imperial guard that was escorting him.

Once the situation changes, the only option is to execute the assassination plan. Anyway, the people who are sent in are all dead men, and no matter whether they succeed or not, they will die in the end.

Once this matter gets out of hand and they investigate, they will find a scapegoat. And this scapegoat will die without any evidence. They have already arranged everything!

The Sixth Prince watched all this quietly, looking at the First Prince, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince with a mocking and playful look.

These three guys were originally enemies, but now they have become allies to deal with Jiang Fan. He knows their plans very well.

He also hoped that this would succeed, and even arranged a group of assassins to help him, ready to strike at the critical moment. By then, he would not have to take the blame for the assassins.

The people that Emperor Yan would ultimately suspect would only be the eldest prince, the third prince, the fifth prince, as well as Ye Ren and others.
